Monterey Jack Recipe FAQs

Can you use Monterey Jack for mac ‘n’ cheese?

Yes, you can. Whether you mix with other cheeses or simply use Monterey Jack, it makes a delicious, creamy addition to mac ‘n’ cheese.

Can you freeze Monterey Jack?

Although best eaten fresh, you can safely freeze Monterey Jack to cut down on your food waste and prolong the cheese’s shelf life. However, it’s important to remember that Monterey Jack is likely to become more crumbly once thawed, and so is more suited to being cooked after defrosting (rather than eating in a salad, for example).

What is the UK version of Monterey Jack cheese?

Many specialist cheese shops and stockists offer Monterey Jack, and you can find this cheese in many HelloFresh recipes too. However, cheddar has a similar taste profile and melting point as standard Monterey Jack, making it a good alternative if you can’t get your hands on Monterey Jack in the UK.

What is the best Monterey Jack cheese sauce recipe?

Monterey Jack cheese sauce is very simple to make, delivering delicious results every time. To make, simply melt two tablespoons of butter in a pan and then mix in two tablespoons of plain flour to form a roux. Leave on medium heat and add one cup of milk, stirring continuously, until the sauce has thickened and has no lumps. At this stage, stir in grated Monterey Jack cheese, until fully melted and creamy.
