Grilling Cheeze Block

Pan-Frying Instructions:

• Pre-heat non-stick pan on medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes or until hot
• 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!
• While the non-stick pan and oil are heating, cut the grilling cheeze block into your preferred shape – we recommend 1″ cubes or 0.5″ thick slices
• 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
• 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.
• After approx. 5 min, flip cheeze portions and allow another 5 min for crust to form on other side.
• 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:

• Brush BBQ grates with EVOO or oil of choice (or spray generously with cooking oil)
• Pre-heat BBQ to approx. 450°F
• While BBQ is heating up, cut the grilling cheeze block into your preferred shape – we highly recommend 0.5″ thick slices
• 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
• Place grilling cheeze portions onto BBQ and close the BBQ lid
• Grill cheeze for 4-5 minutes – do not flip or move! – to allow for a crust to form and slightly char
• 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
• After approx. 5 min, flip cheeze portions and allow another 5 min for crust to form on other side
• 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.

Air Fryer Instructions:

• Pre-heat air fryer to 390°F
• While air fryer is heating up, cut the grilling cheeze block into your preferred shape – we recommend 1″ cubes or 0.5″ thick slices
• 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
• Mist air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with oil, about 0.5 tsp.
• Place grilling cheeze in basket and air fry for 12-15 minutes or until cheeze is crispy on all sides, turning once halfway through
• Once the cheeze is fried to your liking and the crust is crispy to the touch, you are ready to serve and savor your cheeze!

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

Deep-Frying Instructions:

• Add 1/4 cup of preferred oat milk to a bowl and slowly add in 2 tbsp. cornstarch, whisking thoroughly
• Cut grilling cheeze into 1/4” rectangles (one block should yield 6-8 pieces)
• Toss grilling cheeze in gluten-free flour
• Dip each grilling cheeze piece in cornstarch oat milk mixture
• Coat each entire grilling cheeze piece with gluten-free breadcrumbs
• Repeat steps 3-5 for a double coating and let breaded cheeze sticks sit for 5 minutes to set
• Deep fry for 3-5 minutes until irresistibly golden brown and crispy
• Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes
• Serve, savor and repeat

Pro tip: we love dipping our breaded grilling cheeze bites/sticks in marinara sauce!

Note: Cook times may vary depending on the size of the grilling cheeze portion, frying method used, and on desired level of crispiness and browning.
