George Foreman Grill Egg Patties

1. Preheat the Grill: Plug in and preheat your George Foreman grill. Close the lid and allow it to heat up completely until the indicator light signals it's ready (this usually takes 5-7 minutes).

2. Prepare Egg Mixture: While the grill preheats, crack 1 or 2 eggs into a small bowl. Add the milk or water (if using), a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk vigorously with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined. If adding cheese or finely chopped cooked fillings, stir them in now.

3. Grease Grill Plates: Once the grill is hot, open the lid and lightly spray both the top and bottom grill plates with non-stick cooking spray, or carefully brush with a tiny amount of oil. This is crucial for preventing the egg from sticking.

4. Cook the Egg: Carefully pour the whisked egg mixture directly onto the hot bottom grill plate. Close the lid immediately. The top plate will press down on the egg, forming a thin patty.

5. Cook Time: Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the egg patty is firm, cooked through, and lightly browned on both sides. The cooking time will depend on your grill model and the thickness of your egg mixture. Since the grill cooks from both sides, it's quite fast.

6. Remove and Serve: Once cooked, carefully open the grill. Use a spatula (preferably a non-scratching one if your grill is non-stick) to gently lift the cooked egg patty from the grill. Be careful as the egg might release some moisture during cooking.

Serve the George Foreman grill egg patty immediately. It's excellent on breakfast sandwiches, tucked into a burger bun, or simply served alongside toast and other breakfast items.
