How to make grilled cheese: cheese selection

You can put cheese from cow’s and goat’s milk on the grill. Blue cheese, camembert cheese, mozzarella cheese, feta cheese and hard, full-fat Dutch cheese are perfect for grilling, but choose cheese wisely – select those without holes.

We do not put cheddar, gouda or Emmentaler directly on the grill. These cheeses are best cut into thicker slices, wrapped in foil or grilled on aluminium trays. Thanks to this they will not stick to the grill.

You can bake some cheese directly on the grill, as its surface is very compact. However, when cheese is large, you need to cut it into thick slices, and then it is better to use a tray or aluminium foil for grilling. Halloumi can also be grilled without the tray. It is a type of Cypriot brine cheese, with a compact but very flexible texture.

To prepare it, you must first cut it into slices 1.5 – 2 cm thick, wrap twice in batter (always first in an egg and then in breadcrumbs) so that it covers the entire surface of the slice and then wrap in albumin foil or grill on special aluminum trays.
