Ingredients
– 20 ounces Queso Fresco (or any other grilling cheese)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 10 metal or bamboo skewers
Instructions
1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
2. Preheat the grill to medium heat.
3. Cut the cheese into 1-inch wide strips suitable for skewering.
4. Thread the cheese strips onto the skewers.
5. Brush the cheese skewers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
6. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the cheese is golden brown.
7. Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
Notes
– For added flavor, serve with a side of chimichurri sauce or a drizzle of honey.
– Ensure the cheese used is suitable for grilling to prevent melting through the grates.
– These skewers are best enjoyed hot off the grill.
