This semi-soft “butter cheese” makes a mean mac-n-cheese
Butterkäse (pronounced booter-keh-zuh) means “butter cheese” in German. Its rich yellow color, creamy, smooth texture and delectably buttery flavor may make you think it has actual butter in it.
Uses
Butterkäse is great with sliced ham in a sandwich, melts beautifully over steamed vegetables and burgers, and is fabulous in a grilled cheese.
