cheese singles

Wrapped orange squares

Cheese singles are individually wrapped slices of processed cheese, designed for convenient use on sandwiches and burgers.

The slices are typically American cheese—mild, smooth, and engineered to melt evenly.

The plastic wrapping keeps each slice separate: She peeled a cheese single from the stack for her grilled cheese.

Often sold under brand names like Kraft Singles.
