Ingredients
-
8 slices of bread (your choice, such as white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
-
8 slices of cheese (American, cheddar, or your favorite melting cheese)
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
-
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for grilling)
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
-
Salt, to taste
-
Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning)
Instructions
-
Prepare the bread and cheese: Cut the bread into quarters (making small square pieces) and slice the cheese to fit each piece of bread. You can also use pre-sliced cheese if desired.
-
Assemble the skewers: Take a piece of bread, place a slice of cheese on top, and then add another piece of bread to sandwich the cheese. Slide the sandwich onto a skewer, repeating for the remaining pieces of bread and cheese.
-
Butter the bread: Brush each side of the bread with softened butter, ensuring it’s evenly coated. If you want extra flavor, sprinkle garlic powder on the buttered bread.
-
Grill the skewers: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. If using olive oil, add it to the pan. Place the skewers in the pan and grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
-
Serve: Once the skewers are crispy and the cheese is melted, remove them from the pan and serve immediately. They’re perfect with your favorite dipping sauces, such as marinara, ranch, or tomato soup.
Notes
-
Dipping Sauce: These grilled cheese skewers pair wonderfully with tomato soup, marinara sauce, or even a spicy mustard for an added twist.
-
Make-ahead: You can assemble the skewers in advance and store them in the fridge for up to 2 hours before grilling.
-
Flavor Variations: Feel free to add cooked bacon, tomatoes, or even a sprinkle of herbs like basil for a more gourmet touch.
