Here are some of our favorite ways to prepare our grilling cheese!

Pan-Frying Instructions: 

1. Pre-heat non-stick pan on medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes or until hot 
2. Add 1 tsp. of EVOO or oil of choice (incl. cooking spray) to the non-stick pan and let heat up for 1-2 minutes – the oil should be hot before placing grilling cheeze on! 
3. While thenon-stick pan and oil are heating, cut the grilling cheeze block into your preferred shape – we recommend 1″ cubes or 0.5″ thick slices 
4. Generously brush or toss each side of your grilling cheeze portions with EVOO or preferred oil of choice, about 1 tsp. or until fully coated 
5. Place grilling cheeze portions onto hot non-stick pan, turn down to medium heat and let sit for approx. 5 min – do not flip or move! – to allow for the grilling cheeze to develop a crispy, golden-brown crust.  
6. After approx. 5 min, flip cheeze portions and allow another 5 min for crust to form on other side.  
7. Once the cheeze is fried to your liking and the golden-brown crust looks irresistible, you are ready to serve and savor your cheeze! 

 Note: For best results, we recommend using a non-stick frying pan. Cook times may vary depending on the size of the grilling cheeze portion, stovetop make/model, and desired level of crispiness and browning.  

 BBQ Grilling Instructions: 

1. Brush BBQ grates with EVOO or oil of choice (or spray generously with cooking oil) 
2. Pre-heat BBQ to approx. 450°F 
3. While BBQ is heating up, cut the grilling cheeze block into your preferred shape – we highly recommend 0.5″ thick slices 
4. Generously brush or toss each side of your grilling cheeze portions with EVOO or preferred oil of choice, about 1 tsp. or until fully coated 
5. Place grilling cheeze portions onto BBQ and close the BBQ lid 
6. Grill cheeze for 4-5 minutes – do not flip or move! – to allow for a crust to form and slightly char 
7. After 4-5 minutes, flip grilling cheeze portions and grill for another 4-5 minutes to allow for golden-brown, slightly charred crust to form on other side 
8. After approx. 5 min, flip cheeze portions and allow another 5 min for crust to form on other side 
9. Once cheeze is grilled to your liking and the golden-brown crust looks irresistible, you are ready to serve and savor your cheeze! 

Note: Cook times may vary depending on the size of the grilling cheeze portion, BBQ make/model, and desired level of crispiness and browning.
