The A.P. - Eggs on the Blackstone
EQUIPMENT
INGREDIENTS
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons The A.P. seasoning
2 tablespoons butter or oil (for greasing the griddle and egg rings)
Cooking spray (optional, for the egg rings)
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheating the Griddle:
Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium heat.
Preparing the Egg Rings:
Lightly grease the egg rings with cooking spray or a small amount of butter/oil to prevent sticking.
Greasing the Griddle:
Once the griddle is hot, add a couple of tablespoons of butter or oil to the griddle and spread it around with a spatula to create a non-stick surface.
Positioning the Egg Rings:
Place the greased egg rings on the griddle and ensure they are stable.
Cooking the Eggs:
Crack an egg into a small bowl first to check for shell pieces, then gently pour it into the egg ring.
Repeat with the remaining eggs, one egg per ring.
Sprinkle The A.P. seasoning evenly over each egg.
Cook the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks reach your desired doneness. For sunny-side-up eggs, cover the eggs with a basting cover or a large lid to help cook the tops evenly. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
For over-easy or over-hard eggs, use a spatula to gently flip the eggs once the whites are mostly set, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes (over-easy) or 3-4 minutes (over-hard).
Removing the Egg Rings:
Once the eggs are cooked to your preference, use tongs or a spatula to carefully lift and remove the egg rings.
Serving:
Transfer the cooked eggs to plates using a spatula.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Cleaning Up:
Allow the egg rings to cool before washing them with warm soapy water.
Clean the griddle as per the manufacturer's instructions.
Tips:
Uniform Cooking: Ensure the griddle is evenly heated to avoid hot spots, which can cause uneven cooking.
Covering the Eggs: Using a basting cover or large lid helps cook the tops of the eggs without flipping, ideal for sunny-side-up eggs.
Timing: Keep a close eye on the eggs to prevent overcooking, especially if you prefer runny yolks.
Enjoy your perfectly seasoned and cooked eggs on the Blackstone griddle, enhanced with the flavors of The A.P. seasoning!
