While preparing for a Grillin' and Chillin' segment on New York Living TV on PIX 11 in New York City, I tested and tasted my way through some seriously craveable Grilled Breakfast Recipes. Although I only have time to share a few of these on air, I couldn't keep the rest to myself.

Whether you're firing up the grill for a weekend brunch or looking to try out an outdoor breakfast routine, these recipes are all easy to make either directly on the grill or in a cast-iron pan over the fire. From smoky sweet to savory and sizzling, they're perfect for your next backyard gathering.

If you missed the segment, or want to recreate these dishes at home, don't worry - I've rounded them all up here in one place, along with other grill friendly recipes, so you can enjoy a delicious backyard brunch!
