So my bacon and eggs video has been getting a lot of views lately. I'm guessing that's because there are a lot of new griddle owners out there right now. I've also had a ton of new email subscribers, so I thought this would be a good time to review one of the simplest beginner griddle meals.
A few quick tips for bacon and eggs on the griddle:
For bacon, I usually turn the griddle on low and start laying it down after about 5 minutes.
You can also put the bacon down before you even turn the griddle on. The slower warm-up helps render out the fat.
A wire rack is handy for moving finished bacon off the griddle while the rest catches up.
Once the bacon is done, scrape off most of the grease and brown bits before cooking your eggs.
If you leave the bacon grease and brown bits behind, you'll get what I call "dirty eggs." They taste great, but they'll have those little brown specks throughout them.
I like to cook scrambled eggs around 300-325 degrees.
I like to pour a little bit of the eggs them make a well in the middle to contain the rest of the eggs..
It's not a fancy recipe, but it's one of the best meals for learning temperature control and getting comfortable on the griddle.
Have a great weekend and keep on griddling, friends.
