Stages of cooking
-
Preheat your grill or grill pan on medium-high heat.
-
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
-
Place the Adygei cheese slices in a shallow dish or plate and pour the marinade over them. Ensure both sides of the cheese are well-coated. Allow it to marinate for 5 minutes, gently flipping the cheese after 2-3 minutes.
-
Once the grill is hot, lightly grease the grates with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Place the marinated Adygei cheese slices on the grill and let them cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the cheese starts to melt slightly.
-
Carefully remove the grilled cheese slices from the grill using a spatula and transfer them to a serving plate.
-
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, additional red pepper flakes (if desired), and a drizzle of olive oil for an extra flavor boost.
-
Serve immediately, while the cheese is still warm and oozy. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, sliced vegetables, or even on its own.
