Charcoal Grilled Breakfast Bacon And Eggs Food

GRILLED EGG-AND-CHEESE-STUFFED BREAKFAST FATTY

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water. Bring to a rolling boil and gently add the whole eggs. Boil for 9 minutes then immediately transfer to a bowl of icy water to stop the cooking. Let the eggs cool completely, then peel and set aside.
• Place a large piece of parchment on your work surface. Arrange 8 bacon slices horizontally on the parchment. The edges of the slices should touch but not overlap. Working with the remaining 7 slices and stretching each slightly to make it the length of the 8 slices, weave the bacon in an over-under pattern to create a woven lattice design.
• Turn the parchment paper so that one of the short sides is in front of you. Using your hands, spread and press half the sausage in an even layer over the bacon. Next, lay 4 slices of ham on top of the sausage, overlapping the pieces slightly and leaving a 1-inch border around the edge between the sausage and ham. Cover the ham with the American cheese slices in a single layer, overlapping the cheese slightly if needed. Cover the cheese with another layer of ham.
• Arrange the remaining sausage lengthwise in the center of the ham. Press it into a 5-by-9-inch rectangle positioned crosswise across the center of the ham (the longer side of the sausage rectangle should be in front of you). Put the eggs in a line down the center of the sausage rectangle, so that the tips are touching. Fold the sausage rectangle up and over the top of the eggs so they are encased. Using the parchment under the bacon as a guide, wrap the layered meat around the egg-filled sausage to form a roll; arrange with the seam on the bottom and shape the roll to be as round of a cylinder as possible. Wrap the parchment paper tightly around the rolled meat, transfer to a baking sheet and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For a gas grill (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For a charcoal grill, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results).
• Place the meat roll seam-side down over the indirect heat side of the grill. Cover and cook until the bacon is browned, about 20 minutes. Turn the roll and cook seam-side up until golden all over and cooked through, about 20 minutes more. Transfer the roll to the direct heat side of the grill and cook, turning the roll once, so the bacon crisps, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the roll to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Cut into thick slices and serve sandwiched in the cinnamon rolls.

DUTCH OVEN CHEESY BACON & EGGS

Steps:

• Prepare campfire or grill for medium-high heat, using 32-36 charcoal briquettes or large wood chips., In a 10-in. Dutch oven, cook bacon over campfire until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 2 tablespoons in pan., Carefully press potatoes onto bottom and 1 in. up sides of Dutch oven. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, cream and, if desired, pepper sauce until blended. Pour over potatoes; sprinkle with cooked bacon and cheese., Cover Dutch oven. When briquettes or wood chips are covered with white ash, place Dutch oven directly on top of 16-18 briquettes. Using long-handled tongs, place 16-18 briquettes on pan cover., Cook 20-25 minutes or until eggs are completely set and cheese is melted. To check for doneness, use tongs to carefully lift cover. If necessary, cook 5 minutes longer.

BACON AND EGG BREAKFAST GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• See cooking notes below.
• Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper in bowl until blended.
• Heat 1 teaspoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Pour in egg mixture. As eggs begin to set, gently pull the eggs across the pan, forming large soft curds. Continue cooking, pulling, lifting and folding eggs until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains. Do not stir constantly. Remove from pan. Clean skillet.
• Spread remaining 2 teaspoons butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. Place 2 slices in skillet, buttered side down. Top evenly with scrambled eggs, cheese and bacon. Cover with remaining bread, buttered side up.
• Grill sandwiches over medium heat, turning once, until bread is toasted and cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes.
• COOKING NOTES:.
• Avoid cast iron. Eggs scrambled in a cast iron skillet can turn a greenish shade. This harmless but unappealing color change is the result of a chemical reaction between iron in the pan and sulfur in egg whites.
• Don't overcook. The heat retained in the pan will continue to cook and firm up the eggs after pan is removed from heat.
• How long to beat is a matter of preference. Light beating produces more dense scrambled eggs. Vigorous beating aerates the eggs, resulting in lighter fluffier curds.

BACON, EGG AND MAPLE GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lay the bacon slices on a rack set over a baking sheet. Bake until the fat starts to render, about 10 minutes.
• Baste the bacon on both sides with the maple syrup and continue to bake until caramelized and the edges just start to brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let cool on the rack, about 5 minutes. When cool, cut them in half.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry until thoroughly set, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Put 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Layer each with 1 whole slice of the cheese, 3 pieces of the bacon, 1/4 slice of the cheese and 1 egg and another whole slice of cheese. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread. Thinly and evenly spread the remaining butter on both sides of the bread using about 1 1/2 tablespoons for each sandwich.
• Place 2 sandwiches into the same skillet over medium heat. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the bread is evenly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook, uncovered, until the bread is golden brown and cheese is visibly melted, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

GRILLED BACON, EGG AND CHEESE ZUCCHINI BOATS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off the middle burner for 3-burner grills or the 2 middle burners for grills with 4 or more burners and keep the other 2 burners at medium high. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (The grill should be around 400 degrees F. Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for the best results.)
• Slice the zucchinis down the middle, lengthwise like a hotdog, so that you have 4 long, equal pieces of zucchini. Use a teaspoon to remove the flesh of the zucchini, being sure to leave a 1/4-inch border and to not pierce the bottom of the zucchini. Finely chop 1/2 cup of the zucchini flesh and discard or save the remainder for another use. Place the chopped zucchini flesh into a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as possible. Place the zucchini flesh into a medium liquid measuring cup or bowl.
• Flip the zucchini boats over so that the peel side is facing up and brush all four pieces with olive oil. Season the peel side with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then flip over and season the flesh side with another 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Add the Cheddar, Havarti, chives, cream, eggs, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the liquid measuring cup or bowl with the zucchini flesh. Whisk until well combined. Pour the mixture into the cavity of each zucchini boat.
• Using both hands to lift the zucchini carefully, place the filled boat in the middle of the grill over indirect heat (where the burner is turned off), cover, and cook until the eggs have puffed up slightly and are just set, 25 to 30 minutes. Use grilling tongs to remove the zucchini to a cutting board. Carefully wrap each zucchini boat in 1 of the bacon strips. Return to the grill over indirect heat and continue grilling, covered, until the eggs are completely set and the bacon is warmed and just crispy, 18 to 20 minutes.

Steps:
