How to smoke a breakfast fatty

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.

7. Smoke the Breakfast Fatty

• Smoke the breakfast fatty at 250°F for 60 to 70 minutes using mesquite pellets for a strong, smoky flavor.

8. Raise the Smoker Temp

• Increase the grill temperature to 350°F and continue to cook until the bacon is crisp and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

9. Finish and Serve

• Remove the breakfast fatty from the grill and let it rest for 15 minutes.
• Slice and enjoy your Traeger smoked breakfast fatty!
