Best 6 Cheese Plate Kebabs Recipes

PANEER TIKKA KEBABS

Steps:

• For the marinade: Heat the mustard seed oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the besan and stir constantly until golden brown and toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Place the yogurt, lime juice, tandoori masala, paprika, chili powder, mustard powder, turmeric, garlic, chiles, ginger, fenugreek leaves (if using), reserved besan mixture and 1 tablespoon salt in a large bowl and mix well. It should have the consistency of hollandaise sauce; if it's too thick, add 1 or 2 tablespoons water and mix well.
• For the skewers: Gently mix together the paneer and just enough marinade to coat in a medium bowl, being careful not to break the paneer. Add the tomatoes, peppers and onions to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss until thoroughly coated. Cover both bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
• When ready to grill, preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Meanwhile, thread the tomatoes, peppers, onions and paneer in an alternating pattern on 12 metal skewers, letting any excess marinade drip off, and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• When the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates. Lay the skewers on the grates and grill, uncovered, until grill marks form on the bottom of the paneer, about 3 minutes. Flip the skewers, brush with the melted butter and cook just until grill marks form on the other side, about 3 minutes more. (It's important not to overcook the paneer as it can become hard and rubbery.)
• Slide the paneer and vegetables off the skewers onto a platter. Garnish with cilantro and drizzle with some Cilantro-Yogurt Chutney. Serve with the remaining chutney for dipping.
• Combine the cilantro, yogurt, chiles, garlic, lime zest, lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender and process until smooth. It should be the consistency of a creamy salad dressing. If it's too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Taste and add more lime juice and/or salt, if needed.

GRILLED CHEESEBURGER KEBABS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for cooking over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
• Spray a plate with cooking spray. Combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Gently mix together, being careful not to overwork and toughen the meat. Divide the meat into 8 evenly sized balls. Thread the balls onto two 12-inch flat metal skewers, 4 balls per skewer; be sure to leave a little space between each ball. Place the skewers on the plate, and spray them with cooking spray. Keep refrigerated until ready to grill.
• Place the 2 skewers on the grill and cover. Cook, flipping the skewers halfway through, until just cooked through, about 12 minutes. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly. Increase the heat of the grill to medium-high. Brush the meatballs all over with the remaining 2 tablespoons ketchup and cook until glazed.
• Meanwhile, make 2 sandwiches consisting of 2 slices of American cheese between 2 slices of bread. Cut off the crusts, then cut each sandwich into 4 equal-sized squares.
• Drizzle the iceberg lettuce with some oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Build 4 skewers, each composed of: a cherry tomato, cheese sandwich square, meatball, a second cheese sandwich square, a second meatball, lettuce, 3 pickle slices, and a second cherry tomato.
• Lay out a piece of aluminum foil large enough to hold the 4 skewers. Spray the foil with cooking spray and place on the grill. Arrange the skewers on the foil. Cover and cook 2 minutes, then carefully flip the skewers. Cover the grill again to melt and brown the other side of the skewers, about 1 more minute. Serve the skewers with ketchup and mustard.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK KEBABS

Steps:

• Toss the steak with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Let marinate 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, preheat a grill to medium high. Toss the onion, bell pepper and mushrooms with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Thread the steak and vegetables onto ten 12-inch skewers.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the kebabs, turning often, until well-marked, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a platter.
• Microwave the cheese sauce in 30-second intervals until pourable. Drizzle over the kebabs. Serve in rolls with cherry peppers and hot sauce.

GRILLED HALLOUMI KEBABS

Steps:

• Combine oil and basil leaves in a food processor; pulse to combine. Place halloumi cheese in a flat bowl. Pour basil-infused oil over the cheese. Toss to coat and let marinate 1 hour.
• Heat vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken, about 7 minutes. Turn heat off and set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
• Add cherry tomatoes to the cheese and toss until coated. Thread cheese and tomatoes on skewers.
• Place on the preheated grill. Grill for 3 minutes, flip and grill for 3 more minutes.
• Transfer skewers to a serving platter. Drizzle with vinegar reduction and serve immediately. Garnish with additional basil if desired.
