Author's Notes

Be careful with the grilling fumes, the chili flakes over a hot grill make for a very hard-to-breathe smoke!

It’s important to oil the grate well before adding the cheese.

The cheese may stick to the BBQ grate. I find it was easiest to use a metal spatula to gently scrape below the cheese to loose it up gently before flipping it.

Set the grill to 400-450 degrees F (200-230 degrees C) and oil the grates well.
step 6
When the grill is hot, add the cheese onto the grates, make sure there isn’t too much marinade on the cheese when you put it on the grill.
step 7
Grill them for approximately 2-4 minutes a side or until you see grill marks. Use a metal spatula and scrape gently below the cheese to loosen it off the grill before flipping it.
step 8
Remove from grill when there are grill marks on both sides and the cheese is slightly melted.
step 9
Set on serving plate.
step 10
In a small sauce pan, add the leftover marinade, Oil (1 Tbsp) and Maple Syrup (1 Tbsp) and cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes until it is hot.
