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
- Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
- Stack firewood over the oiled napkins and light the paper.
- 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
- Place the scrapple slices on the hotter inner part of the flat cooktop.
- Grill until a deep golden-brown crust forms, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Flip and cook on the other side until crispy.
Step 3: Cook the eggs
- Melt butter on a medium-heat zone of the flat top cooktop.
- Crack the eggs onto the cooktop and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook to your desired doneness, flipping if necessary.
Step 4: Toast the bread
- Place the bread slices on a medium-heat zone of the cooktop.
- Toast until golden brown, flipping as needed.
Step 5: Serve
- Plate the crispy scrapple patties alongside the eggs and toast.
- 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.
