What is the Best Recipe you have ever made on the Egg

Have to agree with Mickey.  Not my own recipes...but his.

The best thing I ever made was a brined, smoked turkey breast, with Mickey's coffee rub.  I've never tasted anything like it. 

The brine was just salt, sugar, lemons, rosemary and thyme.  It stayed in the brine for 12 hours, then air-dried in the fridge for another 12 hours. 

The coffee rub is: equal parts brown sugar and instant espresso.  (Medaglia D'Oro is a good one).  1/2 part black pepper, 1/2 part kosher salt, 1/2 part garlic powder, 3/4 part ancho chili powder.

Applied the rub about 15 minutes before it went on the egg.  Cooked indirect, platesetter legs up in a roasting rack at 350 until the breast hit 160.  I used a drip pan below, but I can't remember if there was much in it when I pulled the turkey breast off.

Tough to believe that turkey beat out ribs, pork butt, ribeye, prime rib, etc., but it did.  By a landslide.  It was incredible.  

Egg improved all of my cooking - Substantially.

Learned more from this forum than I could ever fathom, would not have come to the forum without the Egg.

 

I think it's probably the pulled-pork pizza I cooked some time ago.  Do the pork on the Egg, then the pizza on the Egg... what's not to like???

Pizza looks good.  Try laying some pickles on top after its cut ( if you like dill pickles) - takes it up a notch.

I like that. Cut the fat and sweet from the pork eh?

Just too many things that we enjoy from the methods of cooking on the egg, turkey breast, turkeys,spatchcocked chicken, pulled pork, pulled beef or just a simple pork chop that i now brine and don't cook the crap out it like i have all my life!!  Major food improvements with the egg and the egg forum.

I tweaked it some. Cooked the milk and cream down to a thick cheesey consistently and mixes with the pork after pulling. Topped the hoagies with the slaw... Unbelievable. Probably cooking this Sunday.

Pepper Ale beef is a family favorite! 

@ aquacop Not sure you were referring to the pepper ale beef but here is a run down of the cook if you were.  It is good. 

Pulled pork eggrolls. 100 miles per hour switching lanes like WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!

@travisstrick, I tried your pulled pork eggrolls and completely ruined them. I don't think I wrapped them tight enough. They were sopping wet. What kind of oil did you use?

Even still, they tasted pretty good.

I love my briskets. Coopers BBQ in Llano, TX gave me their step by step instructions. I've brought some into work and my co-workers can't believe it even after being nuked. My neighbors always find a reason to stop over when they smell it. Here is my latest 19 lb packer
