TORTELLINI SKEWERS

Steps:

• Mix together the olive oil, pesto and vinegar in a bowl.
• On small skewers, thread 1 tortellini, 1 cherry tomato and 1 mozzarella cube per skewer. Lay the skewers on a platter and lightly drizzle the dressing over them with a spoon.
• Serve immediately or refrigerate. Sprinkle on the minced parsley just before serving.

SAVORY BREAKFAST KABOBS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage link pieces and cook until heated through and browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a baking sheet and cover.
• In the same skillet, throw in the onions and peppers, season with the Montreal steak seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly charred on the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to the baking sheet and cover.
• Meanwhile, heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Whisk together the half-and-half, salt, pepper and eggs in a medium bowl until light and airy, 20 to 30 seconds.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in the skillet. Add half of the egg mixture and spin the skillet to make sure the egg is evenly spread. Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet to ensure the eggs aren't sticking. Once the omelet begins to set, 45 to 60 seconds, lift and rotate the skillet slightly, letting the runny eggs go under the edges into the skillet. Use your spatula to lift the edges slightly if needed. Return to the burner and sprinkle half of the cheese onto the omelet. Allow the omelet to sit untouched for an additional 15 to 20 seconds, or until completely set. Slide onto a cutting board and repeat with the remaining butter, egg mixture and cheese. Carefully roll the omelets into a log shape. Slice into six 1-inch pieces.
• Divide the omelet pieces, sausage pieces, peppers and onions among six 12-inch skewers. Serve immediately for a great breakfast on the go.

GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
• To make the peanut sauce, put the peanut butter in a blender with the soy sauce, honey, ginger, red pepper flakes, chili oil and lime juice. Add 1/4 cup very hot water as you blend the mixture. Check the consistency and add a little more hot water if needed to make it very smooth. Transfer the sauce to a small dish, cover it with plastic wrap and set aside.
• Brush the grill with oil. Thread the chicken onto the skewers and grill on both sides until the chicken is done in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a serving platter and sprinkle on the cilantro.
• Serve the skewers with dishes of the peanut sauce and a good-quality barbecue sauce for dipping.
