Appetizers Recipes for Electric Grills
Appetizers and small plates off an electric grill cover everything that isn't a main course but still benefits from real grate marks. The recipes below include grilled pizza, quesadillas, hot dogs for a crowd, apartment-sized grilled cheese, and a grilled peaches dessert that works as a summer course. Most are under fifteen minutes total, use ingredients you already have, and scale up easily if you're feeding more people than expected. These are the recipes that make the grill worth preheating on a weeknight even when you're not committing to a full meal.
