Grilled Cheese
The cheese used in Brazil for grill is called queijo coalho. It is a white hard cheese, which does not melt too much under heat. If you cannot find such a cheese, you can substitute it with halloumi from Cyprus, Greek feta or even hard mozzarella or parmesan.
Brick of queijo coalho or equivalent
oregano
Preparation time: 10 mins.
Difficulty level: Easy
Special equipment: charcoal grill
Ingredients
Preparation
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for a hour before using them. This way they will not get burned out on the grill.
Cut the cheese into prolonged rectangular bricks (see picture).
Skewer each brick separately. Grill a few minutes on each side, so it gets the nice golden brown color without melting. Sprinkle some oregano and serve.
