Breakfast on the EGG? Absolutely.
Great for sautéing vegetables or even cooking breakfast! Use the flat side for pancakes and eggs, the ridged side for sausage and bacon. The Half Moon Cast Iron Plancha Griddle can be used individually or in pairs.
Why cast iron on the EGG:
Cast iron and Big Green Egg are a match made in grilling heaven. The EGG provides incredibly even, controllable heat, and cast iron retains and distributes that heat beautifully. The result? Restaurant-quality cooking on your patio.
Two sides, endless possibilities:
-
Flat side: Pancakes, eggs, smash burgers, quesadillas, grilled cheese
-
Ridged side: Bacon, sausage, vegetables, anything you want grill marks on
The Half Moon advantage:
Because it's half-moon shaped, you can use one Plancha Griddle alongside a regular grate — cook bacon on the griddle while grilling toast directly on the grate. Or use two Planchas together for a full griddle surface. The EGGspander system makes multi-level cooking easy.
