Delaware Scrapple Breakfast Patties on the Arteflame

Introduction

A Delaware staple, scrapple is sliced and grilled until crispy on the Arteflame, served with eggs and toast. This classic breakfast dish combines a crispy seared exterior with a rich, savory interior. The Arteflame grill’s flat cooktop ensures a perfectly even sear while locking in flavor for an unbeatable breakfast experience.

Ingredients

• 1 lb scrapple, sliced into ½-inch thick patties
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 large eggs
• 4 slices of your favorite bread
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: Maple syrup for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the oiled napkins and light the paper.
3. Allow the grill to heat for about 20 minutes until the flat cooktop and center grill grate reach optimal grilling temperature.

Step 2: Sear the scrapple

1. Place the scrapple slices on the hotter inner part of the flat cooktop.
2. Grill until a deep golden-brown crust forms, about 3-4 minutes per side.
3. Flip and cook on the other side until crispy.

Step 3: Cook the eggs

1. Melt butter on a medium-heat zone of the flat top cooktop.
2. Crack the eggs onto the cooktop and season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook to your desired doneness, flipping if necessary.

Step 4: Toast the bread

1. Place the bread slices on a medium-heat zone of the cooktop.
2. Toast until golden brown, flipping as needed.

Step 5: Serve

1. Plate the crispy scrapple patties alongside the eggs and toast.
2. Serve with maple syrup if desired.

Tips

• To get an extra crisp crust on the scrapple, let the slices cook undisturbed before flipping.
• Use butter for cooking the eggs as it enhances flavor.
• Scrapple keeps cooking even after removal; take it off the grill when it's about 15°F below your desired doneness.

Variations

1. Spicy Scrapple: Add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for extra heat.
2. Cheesy Scrapple: Top the scrapple with a slice of cheese just before removing it from the grill.
3. Southern Style: Serve with grits and a drizzle of hot sauce.
4. Sweet & Savory: Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for a balanced flavor.
5. Herb Infused: Sprinkle fresh thyme or rosemary while grilling for an aromatic touch.
