Perfectly Grilled Macarons on the Arteflame Grill

Introduction:

Grilling macarons on the Arteflame grill adds a unique twist to this delicate French treat. The Arteflame's design allows for a perfectly crisp exterior and a soft, chewy center. Follow this guide to create delightful grilled macarons that will impress everyone.

Ingredients:

• Pre-made macaron shells (available at specialty stores)
• Butter (for greasing the grill)
• Macaron filling (buttercream, ganache, or your preferred filling)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Grill: Fire up the Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling. Preheat the flat cooktop griddle to a medium heat.
2. Grease the Griddle: Lightly grease the flat cooktop griddle with butter to prevent the macaron shells from sticking and to enhance the flavor.
3. Grill the Shells: Place the macaron shells on the flat cooktop griddle, spaced evenly apart. Grill for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are slightly crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip the shells halfway through if desired for even cooking.
4. Fill the Macarons: Remove the shells from the grill and let them cool completely. Once cooled, fill with your preferred macaron filling and sandwich together.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the macarons on a plate and enjoy this unique grilled treat.

Tips:

• Use butter instead of olive oil for grilling to enhance the flavor of the macarons.
• The flat cooktop griddle ensures a perfectly even sear without burning the food.
• Utilize the different heat zones on the Arteflame grill to cook various foods simultaneously.
• Always remove the macarons from the grill when the internal temperature is 15F below the target to prevent overcooking.
