Pro Tips for Grilling
Cake or Quick Bread
- Types: Pound cake, angel food cake, and 1" thick slices of dense butter cake or quick bread hold up best to heat.
- Handling: Use a serrated knife to get clean slices without crumbling.
- Preparation: Brush slices on both sides with melted butter and a touch of honey or sugar to encourage caramelization and help prevent sticking.
- Heat: Cook over medium-high heat on a clean, well-oiled grill.
- Timing: 1-3 min. per side is usually enough. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Serving: Pair with grilled fruit, ice cream or whipped cream – or all three!
Tasty Tip:
You can grill our Signature Browned Butter Krispies or Mini Morning Buns too! Thread 3-4 bite-size treats onto a water-soaked wooden skewer.
Pro Tips for Grilling
Cheese
- Types: Juusto and Halloumi have high melting points that produce a crispy, golden exterior and a soft, squeaky interior.
- Handling: Cut thick ¾" slices to allow enough time for crust development. You can also try 1" cubes on skewers.
- Preparation: Brush all sides with a neutral oil to prevent sticking.
- Heat: Grill on clean, well-oiled grates over medium-high heat.
- Timing: 2-4 min. per side is a good guideline. Flip the cheese as soon as it releases easily from the grates.
- Serving: Serve straight from the grill while the center is warm and gooey. Top with tomato relish, fruit jam, chimichurri or pickles (just to name a few!).
