Description
Grilled Cheese Skewers are a fun, crispy, and gooey twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich. These bite-sized delights are perfect for parties, snacks, or a playful lunch. Customize with fillings like bacon, jalapeños, or pesto to suit any taste. A perfect dipping companion for tomato soup, ranch, or marinara!
Ingredients
8 slices of thick bread (sourdough or brioche work great)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Optional: cooked bacon bits, sliced jalapeños, chopped tomatoes, or pesto
Wooden skewers
Instructions
-
Lay out 4 slices of bread and top each evenly with shredded cheese. Add optional fillings like bacon, jalapeños, tomatoes, or pesto if desired.
-
Place the remaining slices of bread on top to form sandwiches.
-
Lightly butter the outsides of each sandwich.
-
Grill the sandwiches on a skillet or panini press over medium heat until golden and crispy on both sides, and the cheese is melted—about 3–4 minutes per side.
-
Let the sandwiches cool slightly, then cut each into quarters.
-
Carefully insert wooden skewers through the sandwich quarters.
-
Serve warm, optionally with tomato soup, ranch, or marinara for dipping.
Notes
Experiment with different cheese varieties such as mozzarella, provolone, or gouda.
If you prefer a healthier version, add spinach or a mix of fresh veggies.
