Griddle 101: Eggs 4 Different Ways


Hello Friends,

Sorry I missed last week, we were on vacation in North Carolina but now I'm back.

I get a lot of questions about cooking eggs on the Blackstone, so I wanted to share how I do it.

I’m not saying this is the right way or the only way. It’s simply the method that has worked well for me over the years, and I hope it’s helpful for you.

A few things I do before any eggs go on the griddle:

  • Cook the eggs last since they cook so quickly.
  • Scrape and wipe the griddle clean so you don’t end up with burnt bits in your eggs.
  • Keep the cooking temperature around 300–325°F.

Here’s how I cook each style:

Sunny Side Up

  • Let it cook without flipping.
  • If the whites need a little help cooking, gently pull them away from the yolk so they spread out and cook evenly.

Over Easy

  • Let the white set before carefully flipping it.
  • Cook just long enough on the second side to leave the yolk runny(45 seconds), or a little longer if you prefer over medium (1 min or more).

Basted Eggs

  • Add a small splash of water next to the egg and cover it with a dome.
  • The steam cooks the top of the egg without needing to flip it.

Scrambled Eggs

  • Add a little oil and butter to the griddle.
  • Slowly pour on the beaten eggs.
  • I like to make a small “egg well” with my spatula to help keep the eggs together while they cook.
  • Gently scramble until they’re just set.

If you’d like to see exactly how I make each one in real time, including the temperatures I use and a few extra tips, you can watch the full video below:

I hope this helps make your next Blackstone breakfast a little easier.

Keep on griddling friends,

Johnny
