Breakfast On The Grill Cabo Style Recipes

GRILLED HAM, EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST SANDWICHES FOR A CROWD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Place two 2-foot pieces of nonstick aluminum foil next to each other so the long sides are just touching. Pinch the edges together and then fold them over several times to seal and form one large piece of foil. Line a rimmed baking sheet with the foil and set aside.
• Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk well. Add the scallions, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons water and whisk to combine.
• Split the whole pack of attached dinner rolls in half horizontally using a serrated knife. Set aside.
• Put the prepared baking sheet on the grill and add 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cover the grill and let the butter melt, about 3 minutes. Spread the butter all over the baking sheet using a pastry brush and then pour on the egg mixture. Place the attached roll halves cut-side down and side by side on top of the eggs and cover the grill. Cook until the eggs are completely set, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, butter another baking sheet with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Using heatproof mitts, top the rolls with this baking sheet and invert the whole thing onto the grill. Remove the top baking sheet and peel back the foil. Top half the eggs with the cheese and the other half with the ham. Cover the grill and cook until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Using a large metal hamburger spatula, flip the bottom half of the rolls onto the other half, so the rolls are top-side up. Serve with hot sauce.

CABO WABO COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high. Place mango and pineapple on grill, cook for 2 minutes, turn over and cook for 1 minute more. Remove from grill to a cutting board and let cool. Roughly chop the fruit and put in large glass or cocktail shaker with 1/2 cup of ice, muddle, and add simple syrup, lime juice and tequila. Shake or stir to combine.
• Combine chili powder and kosher salt on a small plate. Rub the rims of 2 serving glasses with pineapple wedge, and coat the rims with the chili powder/salt. Fill each glass 3/4 full with ice and pour in cocktail mixture.

BREAKFAST SAN DIEGO STYLE

Steps:

• Sopes: Heat about 1-inch of oil in a saucepan, on the grill, to 375 degrees F. Fry each sope in the oil until slightly crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to paper towels and set aside.
• For the Red Chile Sauce: Heat a skillet on the grill and add the chiles. Press down on the chiles for about 20 seconds on each side to release the flavors. Remove the chiles and put them in a small saucepan with enough water to cover the chiles. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes. In a blender, add the chiles, garlic, maple syrup, adobo spice and salt and pepper, to taste. Pour in about 1 1/2 cups of the chile soaking liquid and pulse to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings (add some of the seeds for more heat, if desired). Add the 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil to a skillet and pour in the chile mixture. Simmer for 10 minutes to reduce and thicken.
• For the pork adobada: Put the pork steak to a large bowl, add the chile sauce and let marinate for 1 and up to 2 hours. Transfer the steak to the grill and cook to desired doneness, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove to a cutting board and thinly slice. Reserve.
• For the sausage: On the stove, bring a medium sauce pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from the water and put directly on grill. Cook until lightly brown on all sides, approximately 5 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and slice. Reserve.
• For the salsa: Heat the tomatoes, jalapenos and garlic in a skillet on the grill until browned and soft. Remove to a blender, add salt, to taste, and pulse to blend. May add more peppers depending on your spice level.
• For the onions: Cut the onion into thick slices so that they don't fall into the grill. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until browned and tender, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• For the mushroom: Wipe the mushroom clean and remove the stem. Brush it with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill until tender, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a cutting board and cut into slices. For the tomatoes: Rub the tomato with olive oil. Grill the whole tomato until tender and the skin begins to fall off, but not mushy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• For the scallions: Rub the scallions with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until tender, about 5 minutes
• For the crema sauce: Put the crema into a small bowl and add 1/2 to 1 chopped chipotle pepper and 4 tablespoons of the canned sauce. Sprinkle with salt, to taste, and stir until well combined. Add more pepper to create more spice, if desired.
• For the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 of the eggs and the milk. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture between 2 cast iron skillets that are coated with oil and heated on the grill. (1 for plain scrambled eggs and cheese; the other for the eggs plus the chorizo sausage and cheese.) Sprinkle the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon adobo spice. Add a handful of the cooked chorizo sausage and grated cheese to 1 of the skillets. Stir the eggs until desired doneness. Cook the remaining, egg sunny side up, to desired doneness in third skillet that has been coated with oil.
• Assembly: Put eggs, scrambled or sunny side up, on top of the sopes on individual serving plates. Put the grilled vegetables, for the vegetarian dish, on another plate. Arrange the pork steak slices and the remaining sausages on the side. Garnish with the red salsa, scallions, fresh cilantro, avocado slices, Mexican crema sauce, and diced tomato. And....don't forget to make your cocktail!!!

SPIEDINI HOAGIES WITH CAPRESE RELISH

• Toss the tomatoes with the bocconcini, basil, parsley, capers, onions, olive oil and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
