Cheesy Grilled Bread Recipes

GRILLED CHEESY GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Combine butter and garlic in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Spread butter mixture over 1 side of each bread and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Reduce grill heat to low and place bread, butter-side down, onto grill. Cook until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes, moving bread around every 15 to 20 seconds and watching for flare-ups.
• Turn bread over and sprinkle evenly with mozzarella cheese. Close grill and cook until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet, cut each bread into quarters, and serve warm.

ALMOST-FAMOUS STUFFED CHEESY BREAD

Steps:

• Make the dough: Whisk the sugar and 3/4 cup warm water (about 105 degrees F) in a bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top and set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in the vegetable oil. Whisk the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, pour in the yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon to make a shaggy dough. Turn out onto a generously floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes, dusting with more flour as needed. Form into a ball. Brush a large bowl with vegetable oil; add the dough, turning to coat with the oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour, 30 minutes.
• Make the filling and topping: Toss 1/2 cup mozzarella, the cheddar, pecorino, garlic salt, granulated garlic and dried parsley in a bowl. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put an inverted baking sheet in the oven; preheat for 10 minutes. Line another inverted baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with the cornmeal. Cut the dough in half; transfer 1 piece to the parchment-lined baking sheet and stretch into an 8-inch square (keep the other piece of dough covered). Sprinkle 1 side of the square with 1/2 cup of the remaining mozzarella, then fold the dough in half to enclose the cheese, pressing to seal. Slice the dough crosswise at 1-inch intervals, stopping just before the folded edge. Sprinkle with half of the cheese-garlic mixture. Move the dough to 1 side of the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, mozzarella and cheese-garlic mixture on the other side of the baking sheet. Slide the bread on the parchment onto the hot baking sheet in the oven. Bake until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool slightly, then pull apart into breadsticks.

GRILLED CHEESY GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat grill to low-medium heat.
• In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, basil and salt. Brush both sides of the bread with the olive oil and garlic mixture.
• Place the bread on the grill and grill both sides, until golden and crisp; about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the top with cheese and place in the broiler until bubbly and golden, if inside. If outside, cover the grill and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.

GRILLED MUSSELS AND CHEESY GRILLED COUNTRY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium high. Cut country loaf into slices. Place on grill to toast one side.
• Meanwhile, cover bottom of a large straight sided and heat proof skillet with foil to protect from soot. Place pan on the grill and add all ingredients, except butter, parsley, bacon and black pepper, stirring to mix. Remove bread slices to a cookie sheet, toasted side up and grate some gruyere cheese over the slices. Return bread slices to the grill to toast the other side and melt the cheese.
• While bread slices are toasting, tint skillet loosely with foil and cover the grill, until bread slices are toasted (about 1 minute depending on grill heat. Be sure to check so bread doesn't burn).
• Open grill and remove bread slices to cookie sheet and set aside. Close grill and allow muscles to continue cooking about another 3 minutes. Remove the foil and if some have not opened, give the pot a stir and cook another 1-2 minutes.
• Remove skillet from grill and remove and discard any muscles that have not opened. Scoop remaining mussels into a large serving bowl. Return skillet with liquid to the grill, and let simmer 1-2 minutes to combine flavors. Remove from heat, swirl in butter, and pour liquid over muscles in bowl.
• Sprinkle with black pepper, crumbled bacon (if using) and parsley. Serve with toasted country bread.
