What to Grill This Memorial Day Weekend on the Big Green Egg

Egg-cellent Eats for Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend is the start of summer and a time to gather, remember, and enjoy great food together. If you’re firing up the Big Green Egg, you’re already ahead of the game. Known for its unmatched flavor, temperature control, and versatility, the Egg turns everyday grilling into an experience. So what should you cook this holiday weekend? Here are some popular dishes that really shine on the Big Green Egg.

Smash Burgers Cooked on the Big Green Egg

1. Low & Slow Ribs

Bring out the full potential of the Egg’s smoking capabilities with baby back or St. Louis-style ribs. Use a plate setter for indirect cooking, add your favorite wood chunks, and let them go low and slow until they’re tender and juicy. Don’t forget the rub—if you need to grab some seasonings and sauces last second, stop by our store.

2. Smash Burgers on the Cast Iron Plancha

Throw the cast iron plancha on your Egg and go to town with smash burgers. Sear them hard, melt some cheddar, and serve them on toasted buns straight off the grill. You’ll get that unbeatable crust and smoky flavor the Egg is famous for.

3. Spatchcock Chicken

A spatchcocked whole chicken cooks evenly and faster—and it’s a showstopper when done on the Big Green Egg. Cover it with a mix of herbs, garlic, and lemon, and roast it indirect until the skin crisps up just right. Your friends and family will love this one!

4. Veggie Sides with Serious Flavor

Grill asparagus, zucchini, or corn on the cob right over the flame. The Egg’s ceramic heat retention gives vegetables a deep, roasted flavor you can’t get anywhere else. Brush with olive oil and season simply or go bold with one of our signature dry rubs.

5. Big Green Egg Pizza Night

Pizza on the Big Green Egg? Absolutely. Use a baking stone, preheat to 600°F, and throw on homemade or store-bought dough topped with fresh ingredients. In just a few minutes, you’ve got crispy, smoky pizza that rivals any pizzeria.

6. Grilled Desserts

Slice up fresh peaches or pineapple, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, and grill them for a sweet, smoky finish to your meal. Serve with ice cream and you’ve got a perfect summer dessert.
