Wondering if it's possible to make creamy, fluffy scrambled eggs on a Blackstone griddle? Yes, it is, and they'll easily rival the best that you make indoors. Get ready to add this Blackstone scrambled eggs recipe to your griddle breakfast favorites.
I'll be the first to admit that making scrambled eggs on a large surface griddle isn't as easy as in a skillet because there's nothing to contain them, so you have to be working quickly and constantly to achieve those beautifully fluffy curds. However, it definitely has its advantages. That even heat from the cast iron helps to cook the eggs quickly and evenly and you can cook as many or as few as you'd like, thanks to the large surface area.

Why You'll Love This Recipe
- You can scale the Blackstone eggs recipe to make as many eggs as you like.
- It's a very quick breakfast recipe to make.
- You can cook up an entire breakfast on the griddle alongside your eggs. Try them with maple Sriracha bacon and griddle pancakes.
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Half and half--A little extra fat adds richness to the eggs and helps to make them creamy. You can use regular milk, or splurge and go with heavy cream.
- Cheddar cheese--I think cheese is a wonderful addition to eggs, but if you prefer yours unadorned, that is completely fine. If you're using the cheese, I recommend grating it yourself. Pre-shredded cheese doesn't melt well.
Important Steps
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk well.
- Whisk in the half and half and salt and pepper.
- Heat the griddle over medium-low heat. Spray it with cooking spray. Pour the eggs onto the heated griddle, and working quickly, use a wide metal spatula to constantly scrape the eggs towards the middle.
- Once soft curds begin to develop, sprinkle most of the cheese over the top and fold it into the eggs, continuing to scrape and gently fold until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted. Serve with the remaining cheese on top.
FAQs
To avoid overcooked griddle scrambled eggs, scoop them off the griddle while they are still slightly shiny. They should have soft fluffy curds that still have a little sheen to them.
Don't use your spatula to chop or flip the eggs while they're cooking. Instead, working constantly, use your spatula to push the eggs towards each other. The cooked egg on the bottom will push up and uncooked egg will spill over, creating volume and a light consistency.
Tips and Troubleshooting
- If you have a silicone ring, place it on the griddle before adding your eggs to help contain the spread just until the eggs begin to set.
- Let your griddle heat up before adding the eggs. They'll set more quickly and run less.
The Most Important Thing to Remember
Give your full attention to the griddle when cooking these eggs. It is critical to be constantly scraping the eggs towards the center and they will cook quickly, so don't try to multitask or leave them unattended.

- Whisk in the half and half and season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the griddle over medium-low heat. Spray the surface with cooking spray.
