Finally tried a cobbler!

Been egging for years now, and never got around to trying a cobbler. Invested in a Lodge DO this week and just arrived at my door yesterday - figured there was no better time to attempt my first cobbler. I gotta say, after seeing Hapster churn out perfect cobbler after perfect cobbler over the years, I was inspired and itching to try this. Cook's been done for a couple hours now, and I'm still reeling at how good it was. I can see this turning into a regular cook for me - just hope the rest turn out like this! Followed this post precisely (hopefully I did that hyperlink right?). Haps - thanks for the inspiration! This egg never ceases to amaze me.

    I've had my DO for almost a year and haven't done a cobbler yet... Nice.

    It's the perfect dish to go with the egg because you have just finished up a fantastic main course and are sitting down to eat while that egg is just sitting there holding it's temp and begging to cook one more thing.  You can mix it as the last step before diving into dinner and cook it while you eat with almost no supervision.  And it's a great finish piece when you are entertaining.

    Thanks all! And I agree it's a perfect dish for the egg. Next up - corn bread! I'm going to overdose on these DO cooks now.

    I'm doing two different cobblers at the Toronto Eggfest next weekend. I do mine in the disposable aluminum baking pans; which work just fine if you don't have a DO.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Looks awesome, I think I will do one on Saturday night.  I read through the linked post, there is no mention of cooking time.  How long does it bake?

    When you do those cobblers in the D.O., do you put the D.O. lid on or leave it off?  The pictures posted here suggest the D.O. lid is off during the cooking process.

    Usually between 45 minutes and an hour has been what I've found.  I use the toothpick test on the crust, when the toothpick comes back clean it is done.

    Thanks Hap.  I recently scored a cast iron D.O. from my MIL that she has had since the 50's.  I have used it for beans and cornbread, but I am itching to give this cobbler deal a try!

    Cornbread in the BGE...VERY good!  Love the little bit of smoky flavor that you get.  Will have to try a cobbler. Maybe this weekend.

    Agreed. Mine was on for 45 minutes and I was happy with consistency. Naturally, it tightens up once cooled.
