Alternatively, to make square cheese slices, line a 13x9"" rimmed baking sheet with plastic wrap.", "Place 2 Tbsp. milk in a small bowl and sprinkle gelatin over. Let sit 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pulse cheese and salt in a food processor just until mixed and broken up.", "Heat butter and remaining 1/2 cup milk in a small saucepan over medium-high. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and whisk in gelatin mixture.", "With motor running, carefully pour in milk mixture through tube, then continue to process, scraping bowl halfway through, until smooth, 10-20 seconds.", "Working quickly (gelatin will begin to set), pour cheese mixture into prepared container, smoothing top. Cover and chill until firm, 2-3 hours. If making a block, unmold and slice as desired. If making cheese slices, cut cheese into 6 4x4"" squares and store slices with layers of wax or parchment paper in between.", "Cheese can be made 5 days ahead; wrap tightly in plastic and chill."]
