Here’s the ultimate “everything on the grill” morning feast menu that combines every item you listed into one ridiculous, feed-a-crowd spread. Fire up the smoker or offset at 300–325 °F for the low-and-slow items, and keep a screaming-hot griddle zone ready for the fast stuff.
Full Grill-Only Morning Feast Lineup
- Smash-Burger Breakfast Tacos Ultra-thin 80/20 patties smashed until the edges are lacy → top with scrambled eggs cooked in the runoff beef fat, melted cheddar, pico de gallo, and a drizzle of salsa macha.
- Griddle Pancakes + Cinnamon-Roll Smash Classic buttermilk pancakes on one half of the griddle. On the other half: take canned cinnamon rolls, smash them flat with a burger press until paper-thin, cook until caramelized, then hit with extra icing that melts into the craters.
- Maple-Bourbon Candied Bacon Thick-cut bacon laid on a wire rack in the smoker at 275 °F for 45 min, then brushed with maple syrup + a splash of bourbon and finished at 350 °F until sticky and lacquered.
- Coffee-Rubbed Breakfast Sausage Patties Fresh-ground pork shoulder seasoned with coffee rub, sage, and brown sugar → seared hard on the griddle for a crust, then moved to indirect heat to finish juicy.
- Crispy Hash Browns Cooked in Bacon Fat Par-cook russets in foil with butter the night before, then shred and fry in the pooled bacon drippings on the flat-top until golden and shatter-crisp.
- Charred Fruit Board Pineapple rings, peach halves, and banana slabs hit the hot grates for 2–3 minutes per side → served with a squeeze of lime and tajín or hot honey.
- Bonus Over-the-Top Items (pick one or go nuclear and do them all)
- Grilled biscuit dough (canned or homemade) cooked directly on the grates until puffed and charred, split and filled with sausage gravy.
- Reverse-seared ribeye “steak & eggs” — steak smoked to 115 °F internal, then seared and served with eggs fried in the steak drippings.
- Smoked breakfast casserole in a cast-iron skillet (hash browns, sausage, eggs, cheese) cooked low-and-slow for 90 minutes.
- Cedar-planked salmon with everything-bagel seasoning, smoked at 250 °F and finished with a lemon-dill crème fraîche.
Serve it all family-style on a huge cutting boards with gallons of coffee, Bloody Marys, and micheladas. Total cook time: about 2.5–3 hours if you’re organized and have multiple cookers going.
People will talk about this breakfast for years. Guaranteed.
