Grilled Cheese Skewers are a fun and delicious twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, perfect for parties or a kid-friendly snack.

Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-cut bread
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- Wooden skewers
- Cooking spray or additional butter for grilling
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Butter one side of each bread slice evenly. If you like, sprinkle the buttered side lightly with garlic powder and dried oregano to add extra flavor.
- Assemble sandwiches: Place four slices of bread buttered side down on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the shredded cheddar cheese over these slices. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up, to form four sandwiches.
- Preheat the skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Optionally, spray or lightly butter the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
- Grill the sandwiches: Place the sandwiches on the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese inside is melted gooey.
- Cool and cut: Remove the sandwiches from heat and let them cool slightly. Then, cut each sandwich into 4 to 6 bite-sized cubes.
- Skewer the cubes: Carefully thread the cubes onto wooden skewers, arranging them neatly for serving.
- Serve warm: Serve the grilled cheese skewers warm, optionally alongside tomato soup or your favorite dipping sauces for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Try different cheeses like mozzarella, provolone, or pepper jack for a variety of flavors.
- For a fun, kid-friendly presentation, cut the sandwiches into fun shapes before skewering.
- Use thick-cut bread for sturdier skewers that hold together well.
