Egg Stains on Brick

I have used OSR from Lowes

and also a de-greaser from Auto Zone in a pink bottle forget name .  These have been used on my pavers in the driveway to remove oil that guests sometimes leave. My cars never have a leak. haha.  I would try the pink one from Auto Zone first.

I would scrape it with a fork

Sorry to see the problem, that is a beautiful area you have.  

Unfortunately brick is is way different than concrete because it is so porous.
Cleaning grease and oil from brick can be made easier by using a cleaner made from naphtha soap, hot water, powdered pumice, and ammonia. Mix this cleaner in a bucket. Dissolve 4 ounces of soap in 1 quart of hot water, When cool, mix in the pumice and ammonia. Apply this cleaner with a brush and allow it to sit for 1 hour. Then scrub with a bristle brush, and flush off with a garden hose.

For lighter oil stains, mix an ounce of liquid detergent with a gallon of warm water, apply this to the stain, scrub with a stiff brush, then rise with clean water.

A third grease cleaner you can make is one made of dishwasher detergent (2 tbsp), 1/2 tsp of table salt, and 1/2 cup of water. Use this mixture to scrub the stain, then flush with water.

it is very important though, to shield the areas around the cleaning spots, you do not want them to absorb any of the cleaning chemicals and stain those as well.

if that does not work, you may need to replace, I hope not.

Good luck.

First world problems are so terrible.  Scrape some of the fat off the brick and send it to Ethiopia so they can feed their starving children.

Build an egg table large enough to cover the stains.
If you do get it clean, I would suggest a concrete sealer over it to prevent future problems.

Starving children? That's old news. Everybody is worried about a lion now.

Automotive degreasers might be a bit too aggressive for porous substrates like clay fired bricks. As durable as brick seems to be, some cleaners such as automotive grease cleaners may stain it or the surrounding non stained areas worse, due to hydrocarbon based solvents. 

Bricks are porous. They will absorb, as you have seen with the stains from the BGE. I do not know that I would go with an automotive cleaner for grease stains.

Something you may also consider, and this is just an idea:
First be sure to wear protective gear (heavy gloves, skin cover, safety glasses, air mask)
- pour a strong solution of cleaning soda and boiling water on the stained surface.
-cover the stain with a thick paste of Fuller's earth and hot water, let set overnight, 
-rinse with clean water.
you may have to do a couple applications with this. 

The cleaning solution will penetrate and hopefully get into the grease in the porous brick, bringing it to the surface, and the fillers earth is absorbent which will collect the grease.

Be careful when rinsing, it will be harmful to plants and animals. If you do spill some wipe the area up, and rinse the area thoroughly. ( the solution to pollution )

I really hope this helps.

They are, aren't they?

How about you send a few 747's to bring those starving children to Brisket Camp?

By design, your ganglion bit hook, line and sinker on the hackneyed 3rd grade level Ethiopian starving child troll tactic.   Stay young, my friend.

You're quite welcome, chief.
