Instructions

Preheat the Traeger

Set your Traeger to 375°F and allow it to preheat for 15 minutes with the lid closed.
Use mild wood pellets like apple, cherry, or maple for the best flavor.

2. Prepare the Baking Dish

Grease a small cast-iron skillet, ramekins, or a baking dish with butter.

3. Assemble the Eggs

Pour heavy cream into the baking dish.
Crack eggs gently into the dish, keeping the yolks intact.
Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Top with shredded cheese and fresh herbs.

4. Bake on the Traeger

Place the dish directly on the Traeger grates.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks are still slightly runny.
If you prefer firmer yolks, cook for 2-3 minutes longer.

5. Serve & Enjoy!

Remove from the grill and let cool for 2 minutes.
Serve hot with toasted bread, biscuits, or avocado slices!

Notes

For spicier eggs, add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
Swap heavy cream for half-and-half for a lighter version.

If using individual ramekins, reduce cooking time to 8-10 minutes.
