Fire Up Your Summer Brunches with 15 Grill-Friendly Recipes

Published on May 30, 2017

Warm temperatures mean outdoor cooking, but most people only think of the grill when it comes to backyard barbecues and afternoon and evening get-togethers. Take full advantage by making brunch a grillworthy event, as the magic of cooking over an open flame can add that something special to many morning/afternoon dishes.

The Main Event

Up your brunch affair by cooking any main dishes on the grill. The smoky flavor is great for savory meat and veggie dishes, while you can even use a standard pan, a cast iron skillet or muffin tin over your grill's open flame to cook eggs.
