Grilled White Cheese With Oregano Oil Recipes

GRILLED WHITE CHEESE WITH OREGANO OIL

Steps:

• Thread 2 blocks of cheese lengthwise onto each skewer, then cover skewers with cold water and soak 1 hour.
• Stir together oil and oregano in a 13- by 9-inch shallow dish.
• While cheese soaks, prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderately high.
• Drain cheese skewers on paper towels and pat dry, then grill, covered only if using a gas grill, on a well-oiled grill rack, turning (use a metal spatula to scrape under cheese to loosen before turning each time), until evenly browned, 3 to 7 minutes total.
• Add cheese skewers to oregano oil and turn to coat.

GRILLED PROVOLONE, TOMATO AND OREGANO SANDWICH

Steps:

• Use a serrated knife to slice off the domed top of the baguette, removing just a half inch or so (either discard, or butter and then toast on the grill, cut into cubes, and toss into a salad). Then slice the baguette in half horizontally.
• Combine the olive oil, oregano and garlic powder in a small bowl. Drizzle the mixture over both baguette halves.
• Preheat the grill to medium.
• Arrange half the cheese slices over the bottom half of the baguette, followed by the tomato slices. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper, then add the remaining provolone. Top with the remaining baguette half.
• Grill the sandwiches for about 3 minutes, until the cheese melts. Cut the sandwich into 4 pieces and serve immediately.

WHITE PIZZA GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta, olive oil, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Refrigerate for at least an hour (or up to 24 hours) to allow the flavors to develop.
• Lay down the bread slices and, using a butter knife, spread the ricotta mixture evenly on each piece. The ricotta mixture should coat the insides of both pieces of bread. Note: If you're using large pieces of bread, you may want to make more of the ricotta mixture, or only make two or three sandwiches instead of four).
• Lay the mozzarella slices evenly on every other piece of bread (one side of each sandwich). Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and close the sandwiches by place both cheesy insides together.
• Rub the outsides of the sandwiches with the cut side of the garlic clove, then butter both sides generously.
• In a large frying pan over medium-low heat, cook the sandwiches, flipping often, until they're golden-brown on the outside and the cheese is melted inside, about 10 minutes.
• Serve immediately.
