Grilled Edible Cheeseboard image

We love a good bread bowl so why not a bread platter? Whether you make your own pizza dough or buy it at the store, cooking it on the grill will give you a dough that is golden, crisp and tinged with a subtle smoky flavor. Loaded with warm melting cheese, briny olives and salty charcuterie, the board can be the centerpiece of a snacks-and-drinks gathering with friends or served alongside a big green salad for the perfect summer dinner.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 cup red grapes
1/2 cup dried apricots, quartered (about 3 ounces)
1/2 cup walnut halves (about 2 ounces)
1 sprig fresh rosemary, broken into little pieces
2 pounds refrigerated pizza dough, at room temperature (see Cook's Note)
One 8-ounce wheel brie cheese
1/4 cup honey
1 cup your favorite olives (about 5 ounces)
1 cup Parmesan chunks or other hard cheese (about 4 ounces)
8 ounces sliced cured meats, such as salami, prosciutto or mortadella, or a combination

Steps:

  • Make five 2-inch-thick discs of aluminum foil by crumpling sheets of foil: Make one 2-inch-wide disc, two 3-inch-wide discs and two 5-inch-wide discs. Set aside.
  • Spread 2 tablespoons olive oil on the bottom and sides of a sheet pan. Scatter the grapes, apricots, walnuts and rosemary in a single layer around the border of the sheet pan. Arrange the aluminum discs in the open space inside the grape border, making sure they don't touch.
  • Stretch the pizza dough on a clean work surface so it is the same size as the sheet pan. Carefully lift it and lay it over the top of the foil discs, grapes and other ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until puffy, about 1 hour.
  • Prepare a grill for medium heat. Remove the plastic wrap from the sheet pan and put the pan on the grill. Cover the grill with the lid and let cook until the dough is set around the edges and dry on top, about 10 minutes.
  • Using protective gloves or towels, flip the sheet pan onto the grill so the foil, grapes and other ingredients are facing up; remove the sheet pan. Cover the grill and cook until the dough is lightly golden around the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove one of the 5-inch aluminum discs and insert the brie into the indented bread bowl where the disc was. Cover the grill and cook until the dough is completely cooked and golden all over and the cheese is hot through, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the edible cheeseboard to a serving platter or cutting board using tongs and a heatproof spatula. Remove the remaining foil discs and drizzle the whole thing with olive oil, avoiding the brie. Put the honey in the smallest bread bowl and the olives and Parmesan in the medium bowls. Fold and tuck the cured meat into the remaining large bowl. Put a small spoon in the honey and a knife by the brie for serving. Serve the cheeseboard warm, encouraging people to tear off pieces of bread to layer with meat and cheese or drizzle with honey.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my grilled cheeseboard turned out a mess. The cheese didn't melt properly and the bread was soggy.

The grilled cheeseboard was a bit bland. I think I would add some herbs or spices to the cheese next time.

The grilled cheeseboard was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try it again with a different type of cheese.

This grilled cheeseboard was a hit at my party! The brie and goat cheese melted perfectly and the baguette slices were the perfect addition. I will definitely be making this again.
