Another great choice? Try northern Finland’s Juustoleipa, or bread cheese, as it’s more commonly known in the U.S. This cheese doesn’t contain any actual bread, but has a breadlike texture


when grilled. It makes a great addition to a grilled vegetable platter. A recipe from Wisconsin Cheese suggests coating the cheese in balsamic vinegar and then toasting for 2 to 3 minutes on


each side on a lightly oiled grill. You can also add this cheese to vegetable kabobs — just skewer the cheese, along with tomatoes, chunks of bread and basil and then grill.​​ Another


option: Paneer, a cheese popular in many Indian dishes, holds up well to strong flavors, so try seasonings like cumin, turmeric, chili powder, garlic powder and even cayenne, or prepare with


classic tikka or tandoori spice mixes. You’ll want to cook paneer for around 5 to 7 minutes over the flame, depending on the thickness of the pieces. ​​4. SALSAS AND DIPS​ You can make a


flavor-forward, smoky salsa by prepping your ingredients on the grill. Lightly oil grill grates and put down halved tomatoes or tomatillos, a halved onion, jalapeño peppers, and garlic. Char


to taste, then put everything in a food processor or hand chop when the vegetables are cooled. Add lime juice, salt and cilantro. (You can use extra grilled tomatoes for a Bloody Mary,


too.)​​​​​Take that same thought into other dips — char scallions or onions for a more flavorful onion dip, char jalapeños to add another dimension to queso, and blister corn for a corn and


crab dip.​​ 5. FRUIT​ Enjoy nature’s bounty with grilled fruit, but make sure to use firm varieties cut into large pieces to prevent cooked flesh from falling through the grates. Pineapple,


peaches and watermelon all work well on the grill and can be used in desserts, salads or even cocktails. Pair grilled peaches with vanilla ice cream or add grilled pineapples to a pitcher of


 margaritas or a mai tai.​​ Bobby Yoon, a third-generation restaurateur and owner of Yoon Haeundae Galbi in New York City, throws wedge-shaped watermelon slices on the grill until he sees a


char mark, then tops them with a mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon and sunflower seeds. The result? A dish that reminds him of summers in Korea.​​ Putting lemons or limes on the grill (cut in


half, facedown) for a few minutes brings out the natural juices and makes a great squeeze over fish, a smoky addition to salad dressings, or even a twist to traditional lemonade.​​ 6.


FRENCH TOAST​ Yes, you can even take breakfast outside. Breads Bakery in New York has a recipe for what is dubbed “Camp Style French Toast.”​ ​ Cut a baguette in half lengthwise, and then in


half again crosswise to form 4 pieces. Whisk together 3 eggs, 1/8 cup sugar, 1 cup half and half, and a pinch of salt. Dip the bread into the egg mixture and let sit for a minute to absorb


the liquid. Remove from the mixture and allow excess to drip off.​ ​ Oil the grill grates and cook over medium low with the lid closed, making sure to flip when grill marks appear. Serve


with fruit or syrup for extra sweetness.​ ​ 7. DESSERT​ Flames are good for more than just s’mores. Make classic banana boats by vertically slicing bananas in the peel and then stuffing with


marshmallows and chocolate chips. Wrap it all in foil and put on the grill.​​Pound cake and angel food cake are well-suited for grilling, too: Give them a quick char and top with your


choice of fruit and whipped cream. Instead of using the oven, take a cast iron skillet outside to make peach cobbler or apple crisp on the grill.​ _Editor's note: This article was
