Food For Thought | Egg-cellent Eggs

Fact: eggs are quite possibly the single best ingredient on the face of the earth. They’re already in your fridge, you can cook them in roughly 5,429 different ways, and throwing a runny, fried egg on top of nearly any dish will improve whatever it is by 320%.

With Easter approaching, eggs are on our minds here at Barbecues Galore. Where do they come from? Do Easter eggs come out pre-coloured? Are they chocolate inside? Do Kinder Surprise eggs originate from a special, rebellious species?!

Deep life questions aside, it’s the perfect time to get your egg on. Get your grill involved in the magical egg-making experience by frying them in a foil cup, scrambling on a griddle, or boiling ‘em in a camping pot. If you’re a bit egg-challenged, download the egg-timer app to make sure they’re perfect every time.
