The perfect summer grilling kabob using sweet, buttery juustoleipa “bread cheese”!
Carrying on from yesterday’s caprese theme, I come bearing caprese cheese kabobs. Now this recipe is actually in part of Wisconsin Cheese’s Grate. Pair. Share. Magazine where I got to use juustoleipa cheese for the very first time. Now if you’ve never tried juustoleipa, boy, are you in for a treat.
Juustoleipa is a baked “bread cheese” originally made from reindeer milk. It has a wonderfully buttery flavor with a slightly charred appearance for that tasty, caramelized crust, and it goes beautifully in these caprese cheese kabobs.
Alternating from grilled cherry tomatoes and crusty bread, they come together in a snap and is perfect for your summer grilling activities. Plus, with that balsamic reduction, you’ll be in cheese heaven. So be sure to add this to your summer menu – you’ll definitely want to try this cheese out!
