BBQ for breakfast: Creative morning recipes to try
Here are three breakfast BBQ recipes to add some fire to your morning routine.
1. BBQ Breakfast skillet with smoked sausage and eggs
This hearty breakfast skillet packs in the protein with smoky sausage, tender veggies, and creamy scrambled eggs—all with that beloved BBQ flavor.
Ingredients:
1 smoked sausage (such as kielbasa), sliced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 small onion, diced
1 cup baby potatoes, diced
4 large eggs
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
BBQ sauce for drizzling
Instructions:
Preheat your BBQ grill to medium heat, placing a cast iron skillet on the grill grate.
Once hot, add the sausage slices and cook until they start to brown.
Add the diced potatoes, onions, and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir occasionally, allowing the vegetables to cook until tender (about 10–12 minutes).
Crack the eggs into the skillet and stir to scramble, cooking to your preferred texture.
Sprinkle cheese on top if desired and let it melt.
Drizzle BBQ sauce over the mixture, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
2. BBQ pulled pork breakfast tacos
Use leftover pulled pork from the night before, and you’ll have a delicious breakfast on the table in minutes.
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked pulled pork
4 small flour tortillas
4 large eggs
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
BBQ sauce (for topping)
Fresh cilantro, chopped
Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions:
Reheat the pulled pork on the grill in a small cast iron skillet.
In another skillet, scramble the eggs.
Warm the tortillas directly on the grill for a few seconds on each side.
Assemble each taco by adding a layer of scrambled eggs, pulled pork, and shredded cheese.
Top with BBQ sauce, fresh cilantro, and a dash of hot sauce, if desired.
Serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
3. BBQ hash with grilled vegetables and poached eggs
A grilled vegetable hash with tender, smoky veggies and poached eggs makes for a nutritious, flavor-packed breakfast.
Ingredients:
1 small sweet potato, diced
1/2 zucchini, diced
1/2 yellow squash, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, chopped
Olive oil, for grilling
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 large eggs
BBQ sauce for drizzling
Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the vegetables in a grill-safe pan or directly on the grill using a grill basket. Cook until they are tender and slightly charred, about 8–10 minutes.
While the vegetables are grilling, poach the eggs in gently simmering water until the whites are set and yolks are still runny.
Assemble the hash by arranging the grilled veggies on a plate, topping with poached eggs, and drizzling BBQ sauce over everything.
Garnish with fresh chives and serve hot.
Bringing BBQ to breakfast is a delicious way to shake up your morning routine. These recipes are easy to customize based on your favorite BBQ flavors and seasonal ingredients, making them perfect for a fun family brunch or a solo morning feast.
