How to Melt Muenster Cheese (4 Steps)
Muenster is a type of American cheese often confused with the French Munster cheese. Its name is derived from a translation of the name of the German city, Münster. Muenster has a flavor reminiscent of sharp jack cheese combined with common American white cheese, with a soft texture and melts quickly under the right conditions. However, if you melt it incorrectly, the cheese will burn. To melt Muenster cheese, allow for approximately six minutes per cup.
