Can I Separate Meat From Eggs on a Griddle?
Preparing eggs and meat on the same griddle helps you in timing the cooking of your ingredients so that all components of your meal finish at the same time. It also requires less cleanup after you eat. A small problem with using one griddle is the meshing of unwanted flavors and textures. You can separate eggs from meat when using the same griddle by implementing cooking tools such as a sauce pan lid to create a border between the eggs and the meat, preventing the eggs from running into the meat when first cracked. Does this Spark an idea?

Adjust your stovetop burner dial to a medium setting. Place your griddle on the burner and allow it to warm up for one minute before placing food on it.

Arrange you breakfast meat on one side of the griddle. Begin cooking your breakfast meat first because it takes longer to cook through than eggs do. Follow the cooking time parameters on the meat package and check your meat while cooking to make sure you do not overcook or undercook it. Flip your meat with a fork so that all sides cook evenly. Bacon and sausage links can take up to 10 minutes to cook depending on the desired texture.

Put a glass saucepan cover over the breakfast meat right before you decide to cook the eggs. This will separate the meat from the eggs by creating a barrier around the meat.

Put 1 tsp. of butter on the other side of the griddle to create a nonstick surface for your eggs to cook upon. Crack and drop your eggs on the opposite side of the griddle approximately one to two minutes before your meat is done. Use a spatula or fork to flip your eggs. Allow the eggs to cook for one to two minutes or until desired texture is achieved.
