Spiced Grilled String Cheese Sandwich

Ingredients

  • GEBNA Syrian String Cheese (Mshallaleh)

  • Flatbread, pita bread, or panini bread

  • 1 fresh tomato, sliced

  • 1 tsp dried mint

  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin

  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes or sweet paprika

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

1. Season the Cheese

  • Gently pull apart the GEBNA String Cheese into thin threads and chop it slightly so it fits nicely in the bread.

  • In a bowl, toss the cheese with the dried mint, cumin, red pepper, and a light drizzle of olive oil. Mix well until the cheese is evenly coated with the spices.

2. Assemble the Sandwich

  • Open your bread and distribute the seasoned cheese mixture evenly across the bottom half.

  • Layer the fresh tomato slices over the cheese and close the sandwich.

3. Grill and Press

  • Lightly brush the outside of the bread with olive oil for a crispy, golden finish.

  • Place the sandwich in a heated panini press or a hot skillet (pressing down firmly with a spatula if using a skillet).

  • Toast for 3–5 minutes until the bread is beautifully golden and the seasoned cheese is completely melted and gooey. Cut in half and serve immediately!
