Description

Cook cheese on the grill for the ultimate oozing, melty meal. Choose grilling cheeses that can take the heat! Although many cheeses can be warmed on the grill, grilling cheeses have a high melting point, so they can hold their shape without oozing through the grates. One grilling cheese is Halloumi, usually made with goat's or sheep's milk. Another is bread cheese, a semi-soft Finnish cheese made with cow's milk in the U.S. They develop a crispy outer coating of caramelized brown crust on the outside while the inside gets melty. But, if you're looking for melty grilled feta, brie, or goat cheese recipes, we've got those too.
