We came across this awesome breakfast recipe by one of our favorite lump coal brands – Cowboy Charcoal. We’ve been using the Cowboy Hardwood Lump Charcoal for a few grilling/smoking seasons and enjoy the flavor and reliability. Over the holidays we purchased our first cast iron skillet after watching a few peeps in our community post delicious food using it on the grill. Anyways, I know we’ll be giving this recipe a try now the warmer weather is back… Cheers!
Campfire Breakfast
First, you are going to start by lighting some Cowboy Charcoal in your grill… We are using the Akorn Kamado Red Smoker. Then, you will cook all of your favorite veggies & meat inside the skillet until they are nice and brown. The key to browning food in cast iron is butter. We call for 3 tablespoons of butter, but don’t be afraid to add more for a larger skillet. Throw some eggs on top and you’re in for a great morning!
