Coelho Brazilian Grilling Cheese
Coelho Brazilian Grilling Cheese is a quick and easy cheese recipe, almost like a gluten free fried cheese sticks. There are a couple of types of cheese that grill without melting. Most notably of which is Bread Cheese, which I also made with homemade Marinara w/ Fresh Tomatoes, Garlic, & Red Wine. Although you can also dip them in ranch, ketchup, or whatever condiment suits your personal tastes and preferences.
Equipment
- Skillet (preferably cast iron)
- Stovetop
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat.
- Meanwhile, slice the cheese to the desired thickness. I cut mine to about 1/2-inch strips. Although you can cut them anywhere from 1/2-inch to 1-inch or even just fry up the entire block.
- Place on the preheated skillet and fry until golden brown. Rotate until all sides have been cooked.I grilled mine for about 3-5 minutes per side. Although the exact cooking time is less precise and more a matter of watching for doneness! Just look for when it begins to brown and the center begins to soften. If the outside of the cheese is browning too quickly, reduce the temperature.
Tips, Tricks, & Notes
- I have yet to try this recipe in the Air Fryer. Although I think that this might be a great air fryer recipe. I use a silicone tray in mine most of the time because I absolutely detest cleaning the air fryer and this prevents food from falling in between the slats and gunking up the bottom of the fryer. Bread cheese is intended to fry, though, so I can see it keeping its shape and not melting into the fryer bed. Especially since that is the broad point of this cheese.
