Going to the inlaws tomorrow and it's pot luck. Since we hit 100º every day they want something served cold. I'm open for suggestions....I thought I remembered a pork tenderloin sliced and served cold, but I couldn't find the post. Any ideas would be welcomed...

    I like this either hot or cold!


    PIETOMATODONE.jpg Pie, Tomato, Bacon, Cheese, Richard Fl

    Took some ideas from YB and Bryan Love and played with them. Great flavor.




    INGREDIENTS:
    1 9 Inch Deep Dish Pie Shell
    2-3 Tomatoes, Sliced thinly and then in halves
    1/2 Medium Vidalia Sweet or Red Onion, thinly sliced and then in halves--OR--
    1 Bunch Green Onions
    1 Cup Mayonnaise
    1 Cup Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Grated
    6-8 Slices Bacon, Cooked to be Crunchy
    Basil, Fresh, Chopped
    2-3 Tbs Blue or Gorganzola Cheese, Crumbled (Optional ).
    Salt/Pepper to taste
    Guave or Apple wood for "LITTLE" smoke flavor




    Procedure:
    1 Poke fork in bottom of pie shell before cooking so as to give the air a chance to escape.
    2 Cook pie shell at 375°F for about 10 minutes.
    3 When the pie shell has cooled, layer sliced tomatoes, onions and bacon bits almost to top and chopped fresh basil leaves. Save some bacon and basil to sprinkle on the top of the cheese/mayo mixture. Mix the mayonnaise and cheese together and then spread on top.
    4 Set BGE up for indirect, legs up. Place pie on grate and cook for 45-60 minutes at 350°F.

    Went to make one this AM and did not have but 1/2 Cup Mayo so used sour cream for the difference. Made the pie nice and moist. Will probably do it the next time. Left out the Blue cheese this time.

    How about some smoked fish spread? Or maybe a nice smoked chicken salad? Grilled chilled shrimp with spicy cocktail sauce.....etc....

    Not strictly Egg food, but how about a nice gazpacho or vichyssoise? You could roast the gazpacho veggies on the Egg...

    Hi,
    I like grilled chicken breast a la egg served cold. You can make a nice salad with grilled breast on top. Use some potent seasoning and get a good char on it. It will give the salad a good flavor!
