Grilled Kashar cheese is Kashar, a Turkish semi-hard cheese, heated until it melts and develops a browned surface. It may be cooked as a thick slice or in an oven-safe dish, then served hot while its center is still soft.
Make grilled Kashar cheese by placing a thick slice in a preheated nonstick pan or oven-safe dish and cooking until melted and browned on top. Watch it closely near the end, since the surface can go from golden to burnt quickly.
Grilled Kashar cheese melts and can become stretchy, unlike halloumi, which usually keeps its shape when grilled. Its melt is closer to mozzarella, though the texture and flavor differ; Kashar is typically firmer and more savory.
Yes, grilled Kashar cheese can be cooked on a barbecue, but use a grill-safe dish or a piece of foil rather than placing a soft slice straight on the grate. This keeps the melting cheese from dripping through before its surface browns.
Use a good nonstick pan and moderate heat to keep grilled Kashar cheese from sticking. Let the underside set and brown before trying to lift it with a thin spatula; moving it too soon can tear the melted cheese.
Grilled Kashar cheese can turn greasy or rubbery when it is exposed to excessive heat for too long. Cook it only until melted and browned; prolonged heating can separate out fat and make the cheese proteins firm and chewy.
Grilled Kashar cheese tastes savory, milky, and slightly tangy, with a richer browned flavor on the outside. Its center is soft and stretchy when served hot, making it different from the firmer texture of an unheated slice.
Serve grilled Kashar cheese with crusty bread, fresh tomatoes, olives, or a crisp salad. The fresh, acidic sides balance the cheese’s rich, savory taste, while bread makes it easy to scoop up the melted center.
Yes, store leftover grilled Kashar cheese in a covered container in the refrigerator and reheat it until hot. It is best freshly cooked: reheated cheese may lose its stretch and become firmer, so use a short, gentle heating time.
Grilled Kashar cheese provides protein and calcium, but it is also rich in fat and energy. It can fit into a balanced meal in a moderate portion, especially when served with vegetables rather than treated as the meal’s only component.

Grilled Kashar Cheese is Turkish kashar, a mild, semi-hard cheese, heated until it melts and browns on top. It turns soft and stretchy inside, with a savoury, lightly toasted surface. Kashar is also commonly used in Turkish cooking, where its good melting quality suits hot dishes and sandwiches.
In Turkey, you might serve it warm with bread at breakfast or as a simple snack; it also works in a toasted sandwich. It is protein-rich but relatively high in fat, with 23 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter plate, keep the portion modest and pair it with fresh tomatoes, cucumber or greens.
