How to smoke a breakfast fatty

First you cook and assemble the insides, then wrap everything in a bacon weave. Pop it on the smoker for about 2 hours until the bacon is crisp to your liking… details below…

1. Saute onion and pepper

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of salted butter.
Once the butter melts, add the diced onion and red bell pepper.
Sauté, stirring regularly until the vegetables become translucent, ensuring they do not burn. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

2. Whisk the Eggs

In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables and cook over medium heat, stirring regularly until the eggs are gently scrambled and just set. Remove from heat and let cool.

3. Make the Bacon Weave

Lay out 7 slices of bacon on a large sheet of parchment paper, edges touching.
Weave 7 more slices of bacon over and under the first layer to create a tight weave.

4. Assemble the Breakfast Fatty

Spread the ground pork sausage evenly over the bacon weave.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce over the sausage layer.
Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage.
Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs over the cheese layer.

5. Roll the Breakfast Fatty

Using the parchment paper, carefully roll the breakfast fatty into a tight log, similar to rolling a burrito.
Ensure the edges of the bacon weave are tucked in and the roll is tight.
Brush a wire tray with oil and place the breakfast fatty on top.
Brush the fatty with 3 tablespoons of barbecue sauce and sprinkle with ½ tablespoon of barbecue rub.

6. Prepare the Smoker

Preheat the Traeger pellet grill to 250°F.
Place the tray with the breakfast fatty onto the grill. Optionally, place another tray underneath to catch any drippings.
