Ingredients

  • 1 loaf of crusty bread (such as ciabatta or baguette)
  • 8 oz. cheese (such as mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix)
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (such as basil, parsley, or chives), finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp dried dill (optional)

How to Make Grilled Cheese and Herb Skewers

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
  2. Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and cheese into similar-sized pieces.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped herbs, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Thread the bread and cheese alternately onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even grilling.
  5. Brush the skewers generously with the herb mixture, ensuring each piece is coated.
  6. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted and golden brown.
  7. While the skewers are grilling, prepare the creamy dip by mixing the yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and dill in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot with the creamy dip on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use a variety of cheeses for a more complex flavor profile.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • For added flavor, consider sprinkling some grated Parmesan over the skewers before grilling.
  • Adjust the seasoning in the herb mixture to suit your taste preferences.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the cheese for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
  • Use different bread types, like whole grain or sourdough, for unique flavors.
  • Add vegetables such as cherry tomatoes or bell pepper pieces to the skewers for extra color and crunch.
  • Experiment with different herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for varied aromas.

What to Serve With It

  • A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette.
  • Crispy potato wedges or sweet potato fries.
  • A platter of assorted olives and pickles.
  • Fresh fruit skewers for a sweet contrast.

Storage and Reheating

These skewers are best enjoyed fresh off the grill, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
