Ultimate Blackstone breakfast feast

Servings and cook time

Serves: 6 people (double or triple for larger gatherings)

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 20-30 minutes

Total Time: About 1 hour

Ingredients

1 dozen eggs
3 cups pancake batter
3 tomatoes
3 large russet potatoes
Optional toppings: Shredded cheese, chopped green onions, hot sauce, or sour cream
Salt and pepper
1 pack bacon
6-12 sausage patties or links
4 Tbsp butter or coconut oil
Maple syrup

How to make the ultimate breakfast on your Blackstone

Step 1: Prep your eggs, batter, tomatoes, and hash browns

Crack and whisk the eggs in a bowl, prepare your pancake batter, halve tomatoes, peel and shred the potatoes. To remove extra starch and maintain good color, soak the shredded potatoes for a few minutes and squeeze dry with a clean cloth. Shred cheese and chop green onions, if using.

Step 2: Preheat your Blackstone

Designate two cooking zones with different temperatures:

Low heat for holding temperature
Medium to medium-high heat for active cooking

If your Blackstone has more than two zones, set only one zone for holding and the others for cooking. Lay out your prep tray near the griddle.

Step 3: Start with the bacon

Place your bacon slices on the griddle and flip once or twice. The rendered fat becomes your cooking base for hashbrowns, sausage, and eggs. Move the bacon to the warm (low-heat) side of the griddle just before they’re crispy and they’ll finish on the side.

Step 4: Sear the sausage

Put the sausage links or patties on the griddle, flipping them as needed until they’re browned and fully cooked. Slide them to the warm side with the bacon.

Pro tip: Once you slide the cooked sausage patties to your stay warm zone, stack them in a pile so they stay warm without overcooking.

Step 5: Add the hash browns

Spread shredded potatoes in a thin, even layer, season with salt and pepper, and let them cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Now that the warm zone is crowded, transfer meat and hash browns to an insulated dish to stay warm while you prepare eggs and the remaining dish.

Step 6: Cook the eggs and tomatoes

Raise the heat on your warm zone to medium or medium-high, creating an even heat across the griddle. Pour whisked eggs directly onto half the griddle and stir gently until just set. Add cheese or chives, if desired.

Place halved tomatoes cut-side-down on the other side, letting them cook undisturbed until the edges blister and caramelize slightly.

Once cooked, transfer both immediately to an insulated dish to keep the bright tomatoes steaming and the eggs hot, moist, and fluffy.

Step 7: Make the pancakes

Wipe any excess bacon grease off the griddle. Grease with coconut oil for a beautifully crisp, lightly sweet crust, or with butter if preferred taste. Using a squeeze bottle, squeeze about 8-12 pancake circles, depending on space, across the griddle. If adding berries, drop a small handful on top after each pour.

Your Blackstone works quickly, so once the final pancake is poured, begin to flip the first golden brown pancakes. Continue to work in batches until pancakes are finished.

Step 8: Serve and enjoy

Uncover the insulated dishes, stack the pancakes high, and place butter and warm maple syrup within easy reach. Gather your friends and family, pour the coffee—and breakfast is served!

Top 5 tips for hosting breakfast like a pro

Pulling off a flawless breakfast for family and friends doesn’t have to be complicated. With a little prep and a smart game plan, you can serve a hot, hearty spread that looks effortless and keeps everyone coming back for seconds.

1. Customize to guest preferences

Mix and match the menu to suit your crowd:

Swap out pancakes for French toast or even sausage and egg breakfast pizzas.
Spice up the scrambled eggs with hot sauce and pepper jack cheese.
Add a tray of fresh fruit to break up the heat from the griddle food.
Offer grits as an additional side: plain with salt, savory and sweet, or Southern-style with pimento cheese.

2. Prep ingredients the night before

Cut down on morning chaos by getting the basics ready early. Eggs cracked, pancake batter in a squeeze bottle, potatoes shredded and ready to crisp, tomatoes sliced, and fruit cubed, you’ll save at least 20 minutes the next day.

Note: Pull the pancake batter from the fridge when you set up. By the time you’re ready to cook the pancakes, the batter will be room temperature and much easier to squeeze onto the griddle.

3. Set up a prep tray for the griddle

A prep tray of ingredients, seasonings, and utensils keeps everything organized and close at hand while you work. With everything in one spot, you can move seamlessly from one dish to the next without missing a beat.

4. Use a squeeze bottle for pancakes

Instead of wrestling with the mess of scooping batter out of a bowl, scoop smooth batter into a squeeze bottle. This keeps pancakes quick, clean, and consistent.

5. Look for creative touches

Make your morning more memorable with a few sparks of creativity. Offer a full syrup bar and have guests vote on their favorite flavor, or let the kids decorate their pancakes with berries and bacon faces—having a little fun brings fresh energy and joy to the table.

These simple steps make all the difference between a rushed morning and a relaxed, memorable gathering. Plan ahead, cook with intention, and let your Blackstone do the heavy lifting so you can focus on enjoying the table as much as your guests.

How to serve coffee at a party

Morning brunch or dinner party—when you take the time to plan coffee service thoughtfully, it invites guests to linger, refill, and connect. These small details set the tone for the event and make a big difference in how welcome your guests feel.

Plan the right quantity

A good rule of thumb is one to two cups per adult guest. For a party of 20, that means about 30 cups total. Brewing in batches ensures the coffee stays fresh, and thermal carafes keep it hot and ready without the need to hover over a coffeemaker all morning.

Offer variety

Not everyone drinks coffee the same way, so a little variety goes a long way toward making guests feel cared for.

Offer decaf: Some guests want the caffeine kick, while others simply enjoy the taste.
Offer cold brew: Especially if the breakfast and weather are both warm, a delicious cold brew may be the preference for some guests.
Offer alternatives: Add a few fruit juice options for guests who prefer a fresh, citrus boost.

Provide add-ins

Give guests the freedom to make their coffee exactly how they like it by setting out a thoughtful selection of add-ins:

Half-and-half for a classic, creamy finish
Sugar in a small bowl for easy scooping or sugar cubes with miniature tongs
1-3 flavored creamers (e.g. caramel and vanilla)
Flavored syrups

For longer gatherings, keep any dairy chilled on an ice-filled serving dish so it stays fresh. To really elevate the experience, add a handheld milk frother—guests will love foaming their milk or cream to create barista-style drinks at the table.

Keep it hot

Use one or two thermal carafes so coffee stays hot and ready all morning. Brewing in batches ensures the coffee stays fresh, and thermal carafes keep it hot and ready without the need to hover over a coffeemaker all morning.

Note: To avoid burns, make sure hot carafes are labeled and set out reach of young children

Coffee is the anchor of any morning gathering. It creates a natural place for guests to pause, refill, and connect, giving your breakfast an easy rhythm. From offering variety to adding small luxuries, a thoughtful coffee station shows your guests they’re welcome and sets the stage for a relaxed, memorable morning together.

Easy fluffy pancakes recipe

No Blackstone breakfast is complete without a stack of fluffy pancakes. A reliable pancake recipe uses a 2:2:2 ratio: about 2 cups flour, 2 cups liquid, and 2 eggs, and it’s hard to go wrong. They’re quick to mix, easy to cook, and always a crowd favorite. Here’s our go-to recipe for about 3 cups of batter, or 12 medium pancakes:

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk (or 2 cups milk + 2 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar, rested 5 minutes)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for cooking)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract for nutty taste

Instructions

Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix the wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until smooth.
Prepare: Cook on your Blackstone until bubbles start to form, then flip.

These pancakes cook quickly and hold their shape beautifully on the griddle, so you can turn out a dozen in minutes. Serve them straight from the Blackstone with warm syrup and butter, or keep them in an insulated dish so guests can help themselves. Either way, they’re the sweet finish that completes your ultimate breakfast feast.
