Instead of Cheese

Although it's not melty like cheese, miso paste (fermented soybeans) adds a cheese-like savory flavor to many dishes. For every tablespoon of cheese, try adding 1 teaspoon of yellow or brown miso paste instead. It's great in soups, quiches, and sauces. In addition to flavor, miso has the added benefits of having probiotics that aid digestion.
