Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 20 oz halloumi
- No stick cooking spray (to grease grill pan)
Instructions
- 1
Soak wood skewers in a rectangular container with cold water for 10 minutes. This will help them not to burn when grilling the cheese.
- 2
Cut cheese into thick sticks. NOTE: If using halloumi cheese, soak cheese sticks in a bowl with cold water for about 30-60 minutes and then pat them dry before grilling because halloumi is quite salty. Otherwise, skip this step!
- 3
Pat cheese sticks dry very well with a paper towel.
- 4
Preheat a grill pan until sizzling hot over medium-high heat and then grease it with the cooking spray.
- 5
Cook cheese sticks for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown with grill marks. TIP: Depending on the type of grilling cheese you use, it can take between 1-3 minutes per side to grill (or get grilled marks with a golden brown, crispy crust).

Lastly, season your grilled cheese skewers with salt (only if your cheese is not salty), pepper flakes, fresh herbs, and drizzle with honey or maple syrup. They are crispy and quite yummy! TIP: Chimichurri sauce also makes a great savory choice to serve these Brazilian grilled cheese skewers with. In Brazil, these can be served with black treacle or molasses. This means, you can serve them either with a sweet or savory side.
