To melt away: grilled cheese

Barbecue: Who doesn't love it? Especially when there is delicious hay milk cheese on the grid. It gives many dishes that special kick and refines meat, fish and vegetables. But which cheese is suitable for grilling? Which grilling temperature is ideal? What can you use instead of aluminum foil? And what are the best recipes? Here comes our cheese knowledge for barbecue lovers!

Hard cheese for grilling

Cheese adds variety to the grill. However, halloumi and feta are not the only types that are suitable. Hard and semi-hard cheeses are also great grilling companions. Thanks to their strong taste, hard cheeses add flavor to grilled dishes. An Emmental or a Bergkäse is good for gratinating, for example. leave something Emmentaler melt easily on grilled meat or vegetables and you're in cheese heaven.

 

Sliced ​​cheese for grilling

Sliced ​​cheese like Gouda or Hay moon cheese are well suited for refining burgers or as a filling for aubergines, peppers or mushrooms. It melts particularly well. You can combine the cheese with thinly sliced ​​zucchini, for example, or wrap it in bacon and then place it on the grid. Our extra tip: Take the cheese out of the fridge in good time so that it can reach room temperature, otherwise it will warm up too slowly. Younger cheese melts more easily than longer matured ones. And: The hotter the temperature (200 degrees), the faster the hay milk cheese will turn golden brown and crispy. Excessive heat, however, makes the cheese bitter.

 

Sustainable grilling

We are so used to it and often think nothing of it when we reach for the aluminum foil. There are several alternatives for grilling. Small grill pans with lids or tapas bowls made of glazed clay are very suitable. The former are suitable for grilled dishes where heat should develop inside. The second for those dishes that should only be heated from below. Tip: You can also use banana leaves, vine leaves or cabbage leaves from the Asian shop or garden as a substitute for aluminum foil. Simply wrap the food to be grilled in the leaf, tie it up and put it on the grate.
