Ep 38. Getting Cheesy

Anthony "Kitchen Boss" has a trick up his sleeve, and it's pure cheesy goodness. In season 1 episode 38 "Getting Cheesy," viewers watch as Anthony shares the secrets behind his favorite cheesy recipes. Whether it's creamy mac and cheese or a flavorful four-cheese pizza, Anthony's passion for cheese is on full display.

As the episode begins, Anthony heads to his local cheese shop to pick up some of his favorite varieties. He discusses the differences between fresh and aged cheeses, as well as the importance of choosing the right cheese for each recipe. From there, he heads back to his kitchen to show viewers how to put these cheeses to use.

First up is a classic mac and cheese recipe that Anthony has been perfecting for years. He starts by cooking the pasta al dente, then whips up a creamy cheese sauce using a blend of cheddar and parmesan cheeses. Anthony emphasizes the importance of getting the cheese sauce just right, and even gives some tips for avoiding a grainy texture. Once the pasta and sauce are combined, he adds some bread crumbs and bakes the whole dish in the oven until it's crispy and golden brown.

Next, Anthony introduces viewers to his four-cheese pizza recipe. He starts by making his own pizza dough from scratch, then spreads on a layer of marinara sauce and adds heaps of mozzarella, provolone, fontina, and parmesan cheeses. While the pizza bakes, he explains the importance of not going overboard with toppings, as it can weigh down the dough and prevent it from getting crispy.

Throughout the episode, Anthony also highlights some of his favorite cheesy snacks and appetizers. He shows viewers how to make crispy fried cheese sticks using mozzarella cheese and a flavorful breadcrumb coating. He also whips up a cheesy spinach and artichoke dip that's perfect for parties.
