SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND GOAT CHEESE SKEWERS
Steps:
- Special equipment: 20 small skewers or cocktail toothpicks
- Fill a pitcher with hot water. Dip a knife into the hot water and slice the goat cheese log in half lengthwise. Slice each half into 10 pieces making sure to dip the knife into the hot water in between slicing to ensure a nice clean cut.

SMOKY PAPRIKA CHEESE SKEWERS
Bathed in a ruddy paprika and shallot oil, and grilled until singed, these golden cheese skewers are a savory delight. You can make them with any kind of cheese that's tolerant of high heat - also called grilling or frying cheese: Halloumi, queso panela and provolone are some widely available options.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, combine shallot, oil, spices and a small pinch of salt, if you like. (Most grilling cheese is already pretty salty; taste it first.) Add cheese and gently toss to evenly coat.
- Heat the grill to high. While the grill is heating, pierce marinated cheese onto metal skewers or pre-soaked wooden skewers (see Tip), about 3 to 4 per skewer. Reserve any leftover marinade at the bottom of bowl.
- When the grill is hot, brush the grates lightly with oil and add the skewers. Cook, rotating them carefully every few minutes, until evenly browned and slightly charred in places, about 3 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and brush with remaining marinade. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Boil the pasta "al dente", or slightly undercooked, to prevent it from becoming mushy when skewered.
- Use a variety of cheeses to create a rich and flavorful mac and cheese. A good combination is a blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Add some cooked vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini, to the mac and cheese for a healthier twist.
- Season the mac and cheese well with salt and pepper, and add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick.
- Coat the skewers in olive oil before grilling to prevent the mac and cheese from sticking.
- Cook the skewers over medium heat until the mac and cheese is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the skewers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or tomato sauce.
Conclusion:
Mac and cheese skewers are a fun and easy way to enjoy this classic comfort food. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or potlucks. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and crowd-pleasing appetizer or snack that everyone will love.
