Grilled Quattro Formaggi Pizzas
This Italian classic typically showcases four cheeses (“quattro formaggi”) with different characteristics. For our rendition, we topped the crust with fontina (semifirm), mozzarella (soft and fresh), Gorgonzola (blue-veined), and Pecorino Romano (hard and aged).
Pizza Dough
The dough is easiest to handle when it’s well chilled—keep it in the refrigerator until right before it hits the grill. Depending on the size of your grill, you can make more than one pizza at a time. (Instead of making six pizzas, another option is to make four large ones; cut the dough into quarters before rolling it out.) If you don’t own a grill, you can make the pizzas on a grill pan.
Niçoise Tartines with Peperonata
Peperonata is an Italian mixture of stewed sweet peppers, tomatoes, onions, and garlic. In this dish, the peperonata is combined with classic Provençal ingredients to make a flavorful topping for toast.
Ham and Cheese Tartines
This recipe works equally well with other cheeses: Try a mild fontina or Comté in place of the Gruyère.
Cheddar Sandwiches with Quick Pickles and Honey-Mustard Spread
Tangy homemade pickles and onions bring intense flavor and satisfying heft to these sandwiches. However, you can omit step 1 and use jarred pickles; just do keep in mind that these may increase your sodium intake.
Chicken Wraps with Mango, Basil, and Mint
The chicken and the mango dressing can be made a day ahead and refrigerated separately.
