CHEESE PLATE KEBABS

Steps:

• First, choose your cheese. I suggest choosing between 2-4 kinds of cheese depending on how much variety you want on your skewer. Be sure you're also choosing cheeses that will hold up to being cut and skewered. My favorites for this are: your favorite cheddar, a simple brie that isn't too runny at room temp, a goat gouda, and a blue like fourme d'ambert. Cube all your cheese.
• When getting ready to cube hard cheese (like cheddar or gouda), be sure to let it come to room temperature so it doesn't shatter when you try to slice it. Softer cheeses are ok to cut cold.
• Get out your skewers, I like to use mid-sized or traditional kababs cut in half.
• Now, layer your skewers with your cheese plate cubes. The pattern I use is: cheese, olive, bread, different cheese, salami,bread, cheese, olive prociutto, bread, apricot. This is to keep the cheeses from touching so you can enjoy them individually while always giving the eater a piece of bread next to a piece of cheese.
• Feel free to have fun layering! Try this method with your favorite cheese plate staples for a fun picnic dish that will quickly become everyone's favorite.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK KEBABS

Steps:

• Toss the steak with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Let marinate 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, preheat a grill to medium high. Toss the onion, bell pepper and mushrooms with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Thread the steak and vegetables onto ten 12-inch skewers.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the kebabs, turning often, until well-marked, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a platter.
• Microwave the cheese sauce in 30-second intervals until pourable. Drizzle over the kebabs. Serve in rolls with cherry peppers and hot sauce.

ANTIPASTI SKEWERS

• Toss the mozzarella, olive oil, oregano and salt together in a small bowl.
• Thread six 8-inch skewers as follows: mozzarella, yellow pepper, cherry tomato, green olive, piquillo pepper, Kalamata olive, artichoke heart, salami, basil. Serve on a platter.

HALLOUMI CHEESE KEBABS

Steps:

• Cut the halloumi into thick slices (about 1/4 inch).
• Mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano and pepper.
• Leave the Halloumi in the mixture for half an hour.
• Place the Halloumi on a red hot griddle pan and cook until nicely coloured, turn it over and repeat (depending on heat of pan will only take a few minutes each side so don't leave it).
• Warm the pitta breads under the grill (in the oven, in a toaster) following manufacturers instructions.
• Slice the top edge of the pitta off (much easier than trying to slice down into it)
• put in a little salad, some slices of cucumber, tomato and red peppers.
• Add the cheese and some more salad building up until its nice and full.
• Serve with the dressing on one side or you could add it as you are building it up.
