Instructions
- Prepare the cheese burst filling: Mix mozzarella cheese, cheese spread, and mayonnaise in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the pizza base: Take the ready-made pizza base and carefully make a shallow cavity in the center, leaving the edges intact.
- Spread the prepared cheese mixture generously into the cavity.
- Cover the cheese-filled area with a thin layer of the removed pizza crumbs or another thin pizza base layer so the cheese remains inside while baking.

- Sprinkle mozzarella and processed cheese generously over the toppings.
- Add oregano, chilli flakes, and black pepper.
- Brush the edges lightly with butter for a delicious golden crust.

How to Make It Without an Oven
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai with a layer of salt and place a stand inside. Preheat covered for about 8–10 minutes. Place the prepared pizza on a plate or tray, put it on the stand, cover, and cook on low heat for 10–15 minutes, until the cheese melts and the base becomes crisp.
Tips for Perfect Cheese Burst Pizza

- Don’t overfill the center, as the cheese can spill out during baking.
