I got too much Buffalo mozzarella at the grocery store last week and I need to use it up before it goes bad. Does anyone have a good recipe that I can make for lunches next week that uses quite a bit of mozzarella?

I've got a vegetable lasagna one I might do, but I'd like another option!

I sometimes use my leftover mozzarella as filling for empanadas. I just add onion, or tomatoes, or mushrooms, or olives, or corn, or basil... anything that goes well with cheese! I prefer this shape of empanada for mozzarella, because it doesn't overflow so easily. And you can make a bunch and freeze them and eat them later!

I do love empanadas, but I don't have a stove for lunch, and I don't think they'd be good in a microwave. But I am keeping this in the back of my mind for another time!

Yeah, they can get a bit soggy in the microwave--unless you heat them for just a few seconds, or use the grill setting, but not all microwaves have that! At work, I either heat them up for like five seconds, or if it's not a very cold day, I just eat them at room temperature!

Oh, wow, I wish we had a grill setting! That must be nice!

Arancini?

I don't think that would keep well throughout the week, but it does sound really good!

Cherry tomato and mozzarella salad with basil, oil and red wine vinegar?

[lirazel]

That's literally what I've had for dinner every day this week! Well, I've just had slices of big tomatoes with basil and mozzarella and olive oil, but pretty much the same thing!

Baked ziti? Eggplant parmesan?

Gosh, I wish I was the kind of person who would take the time to fry things. I love eggplant parmesan!
