Holiday Party Planning
Christmas Morning with George Foreman
For most people, the grill only applies to breakfast food when it comes to sausage and bacon; but in truth, a multifunctional grill can do a lot more for breakfast than you think. If you have a grill with multiple plates, then chances are you can pretty much do the whole meal on your grill to minimize cleanup and make breakfast cooking supremely easy.
This is especially good for Christmas morning, where you’d rather be spending time with the family, opening presents and even planning for dinner if you do a big meal on Christmas day. Using your grill, you can have breakfast ready in a snap and then move on to more important things after you throw a few things in the dishwasher.
Using the Griddle/Bake Plate
Many of our electric grills come with a griddle/bake plate. For those familiar with using a griddle, you know this is a breakfast mainstay appliance. You can do eggs, French toast, omelets, breakfast sandwiches and, of course, the standard sausage and bacon.
Ham & Swiss Breakfast Strata
Another great idea is to do something like a breakfast strata. Bake plates with deeper sides (particularly the plates with 2-inch depth) are perfect for doing casseroles and strata as we mentioned in our last post. Simply prepare the strata as you normally would, then place it in your bake plate on the grill instead of in a baking vessel.
If you’re interested in trying a strata, but don’t have a recipe, we’ll be posting the Ham & Swiss Strata recipe directly following this post as a special gift to you!
Using Your Quesadilla Plates
The 360 Grill™ comes with a quesadilla plate, which makes for an easy breakfast meal if you have a taste for breakfast quesadillas. Simply fill the tortillas with eggs, cheese and your favorite meat or veggies and you’re ready to go. Since they cook in about 3 minutes, you can even make several different variations and have a whole spread at your family meal.
Using Your Muffin Pan
Chocolate Chip Muffins on the Kitchen Bistro
Yes, there is a George Foreman grill with a muffin pan! The Kitchen Bistro™ series comes with a muffin pan insert that fits directly into the bake plate of the grill. It makes 6 muffins at a time – either from scratch or using a prepackaged mix. You’ll need to adjust the baking time, but this list will provide you with a few examples of cooking times:
Jiffy® Corn Muffins: 400ºF baked for 10 minutes; made 10
Martha White® Blueberry Muffins: 425ºF baked for 12 minutes; made 6
Betty Crocker Banana Nut Muffins: 375º baked for 12 minutes; made 6
Whichever multi-plate grill you have, as long as you have a little creativity, you can do breakfast on your George Foreman in a snap. Once you’ve finished cooking, just throw the plates you used, along with the accessories, into the dishwasher and get on to enjoying the rest of your day!
