Fun for the lunch box, these gluten-free grilled cheese kabobs are easy to make and easy to customize. These lunch skewers are fun for kids! 

One day when I made grilled cheese sandwiches for my family, I had the idea to switch them up a bit.

My idea was to cube them up, let them cool, and put them on little skewers with ham for kabobs that would fit in their lunchbox. I tried it out that day with my boys and they loved them! They were a fun change from the usual lunch box ideas. You can even make these the night before.

My youngest is not a fan of tomatoes at all, even our homegrown sweet cherry tomatoes, so he asked for strawberries on his. I figured why not?! He just pulls it off and eats it first! I’ve heard of people putting jam on their grilled cheese sandwiches, so this is kind of similar anyhow!

Notes on ingredients for these gluten-free grilled cheese kabobs:

• The bread: Use your favorite store-bought or homemade gluten-free bread.
• Cheese: I opted for Colby Jack, but a good cheddar is so good too!
• Deli ham: I sliced the deli ham into half slices that I then folded twice to put on the skewers. If your deli ham slices are large, you’ll want to cut into quarters. I like Boar’s Head brand deli meats as they’re all gluten-free.
• Garlic Butter: It’s the secret to the best grilled cheese sandwiches! I buy garlic butter already made, but you can make your own easily by stirring garlic powder and a little salt and parsley into softened butter. Or just use regular salted butter.

Here are some other sandwiches you might like! My favorite sandwich is a gluten-free club sandwich. My meat loving family loves this gluten-free triple meat sandwich or lunch or dinner. I love this gluten-free bacon and egg sandwich for breakfast or lunch.

Hope you and your kiddos enjoy these!

Fun twist on the usual sandwich, these gluten-free grilled cheese kabobs are an easy, kid-friendly lunch idea.

Prep Time 3 minutes

Cook Time 5 minutes

Additional Time 3 minutes

Total Time 11 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 slices Canyon Bakehouse gluten-free Heritage Bread (white or whole grain)
• 2 slices cheese (I used Colby Jack or Cheddar)
• 1 Tbsp. garlic butter or regular salted butter
• 4 slices deli ham (cut in 1/2 or 1/4 depending on size)
• Cherry tomatoes or strawberries

Instructions

1. Layer cheese in between two slices of Canyon Bakehouse gluten-free Heritage Bread. (This bread is much larger than other gluten-free breads which means more grilled cheese cubes!)
2. Spread softened garlic butter or salted butter on the top side of the sandwich.
3. Melt remaining garlic butter or salted butter on one side of skillet over medium heat. Place unbuttered bottom of sandwich on the melted butter. Cover pan with a lid. (Steam helps the cheese melt without burning the bread).
4. Remove lid after two minutes to check bottom of sandwich to watch for browning. Once brown, flip sandwich over and repeat cooking with lid on until other side is brown as well. Remove from skillet and place on cutting board to cool.
5. Once cool, use a knife to cut grilled cheese sandwich into cubes. I cut it into three rows, then cut into about 1" cubes. One sandwich resulted in 14 cubes.
6. To assemble skewers: Alternate grilled cheese cubes with 1/2 slices of deli ham on skewers. Add cherry tomatoes or strawberries at the end(s).
7. Refrigerate or place in lunch bag with ice pack to keep cool until lunch.
