Ingredients

• 8 slices of thick-cut bacon
• 4 large eggs
• 4 breakfast sausages
• 1 cup pancake mix (plus ingredients per package instructions)
• ½ cup blueberries (optional for pancakes)
• ½ stick of butter (divided)
• 1 cup hash browns (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Maple syrup and butter for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

Start by preparing your Arteflame grill. Pour a little vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the center. Stack your firewood on top of the napkins and light the grill. In about 20 minutes, your grill will be ready to cook. You’ll want a hot center grill grate for the bacon and a slightly cooler outer area on the flat cooktop for the eggs, pancakes, and sausages.

Step 2: Cook the Bacon

Place the thick-cut bacon on the center grate of the grill. Let it sear for about 3-4 minutes per side, turning with tongs until it’s crispy and perfectly golden. Move it to the cooler edge of the flat cooktop to keep warm without overcooking.

Step 3: Grill the Sausages

Move the breakfast sausages onto the hot zone of the flat top, letting them cook through, turning occasionally to ensure an even sear. Grill for about 8-10 minutes, until they’re nicely browned and cooked through.

Step 4: Cook the Eggs

Add a pat of butter to the cooler part of the flat cooktop. Crack the eggs directly onto the griddle. Season with salt and pepper. Fry them sunny side up for about 2-3 minutes, or longer if you prefer the yolks cooked through. Remove them from the grill when they are 15°F under your desired doneness, as they’ll continue cooking after being taken off the heat.

Step 5: Make the Pancakes

While the eggs are cooking, melt some butter on a medium-hot section of the cooktop. Pour the pancake batter (prepared according to package instructions) onto the grill, forming 4 pancakes. Add a handful of blueberries to each pancake if desired. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, flipping when bubbles form on the surface. Remove when golden brown.

Step 6: Hash Browns (Optional)

For extra crunch, toss a handful of hash browns onto the griddle with some butter. Spread them out to ensure an even cook, turning occasionally until golden and crispy.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!

Stack your pancakes, bacon, sausages, and eggs on a plate. Add a drizzle of maple syrup over the pancakes, top with a pat of butter, and enjoy a breakfast that’s seared to perfection with all the flavor locked in!

Tips for Success

• Use the hotter central zones for items like bacon and sausages that need a strong sear, and move delicate items like eggs toward the cooler edges.
• Keep butter handy to add richness to pancakes and eggs without burning.
• When cooking eggs, remove them when they are slightly underdone since they will continue to cook off the grill.

Variations

1. Southwest Grilled Breakfast

• Add diced bell peppers, onions, and a sprinkle of cumin to the hash browns for a Tex-Mex twist. Serve with salsa on the side.

2. Vegetarian Grilled Breakfast

• Swap the bacon and sausages for veggie sausages or grilled portobello mushrooms. Add sliced avocado to serve.

3. Sweet & Savory Breakfast

• Replace traditional pancakes with grilled French toast. Use thick slices of brioche dipped in egg wash, and grill until golden.

4. Full English Breakfast

• Add grilled tomatoes and mushrooms alongside the bacon and sausages. Serve with baked beans warmed on the cooler part of the flat cooktop.

5. Canadian Breakfast

• Swap regular bacon for peameal (Canadian bacon) and serve with a drizzle of maple syrup over the entire dish for a sweet and savory combo.

Best Pairings

• Beverage: Freshly brewed coffee or a spicy Bloody Mary
• Side: Grilled tomatoes or sautéed spinach for a healthy balance
• Dessert: Grilled fruit (peaches or pineapple) topped with a dollop of yogurt or whipped cream
