Pizza on an outdoor grill is a great alternative to oven-cooked pizza. If you love crispy crust, this is for you. Note: cook time is relatively short, so alternative toppings like uncooked sausage or other meats may not cook fully.
Ingredients
- 1 package pizza dough , 16 ounce
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 4 ounces shredded Asiago cheese
- 3 large tomatoes , thinly sliced
- 1 cup packed whole basil leaves
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese , shredded
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
1
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
-
2
Place pizza dough in a bowl to rise 2 to 3 times the original size, about 1 hour. Flour a work surface and a rolling pin. Divide dough in half; roll each half to a 10- to 12-inch diameter circle.
-
3
Place pizza dough rounds on the preheated grill using a wooden paddle (pizza peel) and close lid; cook until grill marks appear on the bottom of each round, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from grill and flip over on a work surface. Lower grill heat to medium.
-
4
Brush each round with olive oil. Spread half the Asiago cheese on each crust; add tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper.

5
Transfer pizzas to grill with wooden paddle and close lid. Cook until bottom of rounds is cooked with grill marks and cheese is melted, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from grill and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Lamb Scallopini with Pepper and Onion Agrodolce
Every year around Easter we normally do some kind of roast lamb recipe, like a big ol' leg of lamb, which is perfect for a large family gathering, but I have a feeling this year's gonna be a little bit different--so we're gonna go with nice, thin medallions. Unlike those large, more expensive cuts of meat, this is super easy to achieve perfect doneness, which means less anxiety and stress. Serve with crispy pan-fried potatoes.
Polpette (Italian Meatballs)
These tasty Italian meatballs (polpette) start off in the oven, and finish by simmering in a simple tomato sauce. We love them as a main dish, with a side of sautéed zucchini and a salad.
Becky's Healthier Ham and Cheese Quiche
I have been on a permanent quest to find the perfect eggbeater quiche recipe. As a self-professed breakfast food, cheese, and egg lover, quiche represents all that is right and good in a culinary concoction. Traditionally quiche is not a healthy option, what with all the cream and cheese that typically goes into it. I have experimented with different versions of a healthier quiche for years, but a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon the perfect mixture, and I am pleased to share it here with all of you.
