Breakfast on the Grill

One of the most challenging things about sheltering at home is finding the motivation each morning to get out of bed. There’s nothing like the promise of a hearty grilled breakfast to get the day started. If you’ve never cooked breakfast on the grill before, now is the time. Here are some ideas and recipes to get you started.


11 Grilled Breakfast Recipes

1. Grilled grapefruit with hot honey

Slice two grapefruits in half through their equators and dip the cut sides in granulated sugar. Grill (cut sides down) over medium heat until the sugars begin to caramelize. Drizzle with warmed chile-infused honey.

 

2. Catalan Tomato Bread

I first ate this breakfast at a Spanish finca (farm) near the town of Mérida; called pa amb tomaquét, it’s one of Steven’s favorites, too. Slice a red, ripe, juicy tomato in half and set aside. Peel a large clove of garlic and cut in half. Grill four slices of rough-crumbed country-style bread on both sides until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes per side. Rub the bread with garlic, then with the cut side of a tomato half. (Discard the skin.) Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt. If desired, top with thin slices of Serrano ham.
