Cheese Plate Kebabs Recipes

Steps:

• Toss the steak with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Let marinate 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, preheat a grill to medium high. Toss the onion, bell pepper and mushrooms with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Thread the steak and vegetables onto ten 12-inch skewers.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the kebabs, turning often, until well-marked, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a platter.
• Microwave the cheese sauce in 30-second intervals until pourable. Drizzle over the kebabs. Serve in rolls with cherry peppers and hot sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for cooking over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
• Spray a plate with cooking spray. Combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Gently mix together, being careful not to overwork and toughen the meat. Divide the meat into 8 evenly sized balls. Thread the balls onto two 12-inch flat metal skewers, 4 balls per skewer; be sure to leave a little space between each ball. Place the skewers on the plate, and spray them with cooking spray. Keep refrigerated until ready to grill.
• Place the 2 skewers on the grill and cover. Cook, flipping the skewers halfway through, until just cooked through, about 12 minutes. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly. Increase the heat of the grill to medium-high. Brush the meatballs all over with the remaining 2 tablespoons ketchup and cook until glazed.
• Meanwhile, make 2 sandwiches consisting of 2 slices of American cheese between 2 slices of bread. Cut off the crusts, then cut each sandwich into 4 equal-sized squares.
• Drizzle the iceberg lettuce with some oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Build 4 skewers, each composed of: a cherry tomato, cheese sandwich square, meatball, a second cheese sandwich square, a second meatball, lettuce, 3 pickle slices, and a second cherry tomato.
• Lay out a piece of aluminum foil large enough to hold the 4 skewers. Spray the foil with cooking spray and place on the grill. Arrange the skewers on the foil. Cover and cook 2 minutes, then carefully flip the skewers. Cover the grill again to melt and brown the other side of the skewers, about 1 more minute. Serve the skewers with ketchup and mustard.

Steps:

• For dip, mix first 4 ingredients. On 12 wooden skewers, alternately thread strawberries, grapes and cheese cubes. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

Steps:

• Mash the garlic into a paste with the salt using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a chef's knife on your cutting board. Mix the garlic into the lamb along with the onion, parsley, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper, ginger, and pepper in a mixing bowl until well blended. Form the mixture into 28 balls. Form each ball around the tip of a skewer, flattening into a 2 inch oval; repeat with the remaining skewers. Place the kebabs onto a baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the lamb has cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 6 minutes for medium.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, sour cream and extract until smooth. Refrigerate until serving. On 6 wooden skewers, alternately thread strawberries, grapes and pineapple. Serve with dip.
