Grand Slam Breakfast


grand slam breakfast platter made on the bbq with eggs, bacon, French toast, sausage and hash brown potatoes

Brunch is my thing. When I had my restaurant, Lisa Marie, our weekend brunches were always packed, especially Sunday brunch. I love brunch so much, I wrote an entire cookbook about it called Brunch Life – because as the title suggests, brunch, is a way of life. So, you could image how excited I was to make the most epic breakfast/brunch ever on the most epic brunch-making machine – the Alchemy. I might be biased, but being able to cook up bacon, eggs, sausage, French toast, hash browns and make fresh raspberry jam, all at the same time, all on one machine, is totally epic. Just picture it, you’re at the cottage for the weekend, your friends and family are slowly emerging from their rooms, while you’re busy cooking up the most insane meal for them all to share, family-style. That’s how memories are made, good people, good food, good times. Keep reading to find out how to make this ultimate Grand Slam Breakfast, or jump to the full recipe.
