Flat Top Classic Crab Cakes

4.0

Classic crab cakes are perfect for cooking outside on your flat top. They’re delicious paired with lightly dressed greens as a first course or paired with heartier sides as a main dish. While fresh crab is always a treat, canned crab works well, too.

Flat Top Stuffed French Toast

5.0

Chef JRob describes his sweet brunch dish as a cross between French toast and cheesecake. Yet the cream cheese and blueberry filling could not be easier to make, and the large surface area of the flat top lets you cook all the brioche at once so everyone can eat at the same time.

Flat Top Seared Shrimp & Lime Tacos

You’re gonna need a lotta limes for this vibrant fresh take on shrimp tacos from Diva Q. To save time, buy easy-peel shrimp.

Flat Top Porcini-Dusted Smashed Burger

5.0

We’re taking the classic smashed burger up a notch with porcini powder and a special sauce. The dried mushroom powder, sometimes called dust, gives the meat an even deeper savory flavor. If your supermarket carries dried porcinis but not powder, simply grind the whole dried mushrooms in a spice grinder. Spreading a little mayo on the buns before toasting them makes them nicely browned and crisped.

Flat Top Cinnamon-Sugar Crepe Cake

Diva Q makes this fantastical, many-layered cake for her kids, who request it often for breakfast (and just about any other time of day). Once you try it, you will know why. For best results, let the crepe batter rest for at least a couple of hours but preferably overnight.

Flat Top Ginger-Garlic Pork Lettuce Cups

This quick and tasty appetizer is gluten free if you use tamari in place of the soy sauce. For fewer bowls needed at the grill, consider combining the garlic, ginger, scallions, and the red pepper flakes, if using, into one bowl.

Flat Top Buttermilk Pancakes

4.5

Though this batter is exceptionally thick, it yields light and fluffy pancakes, thanks to the egg yolks and whites getting separated and added to the batter at different times. Bonus: You don’t even have to whip the whites first.

Flat Top Spicy Chicken Fajitas

5.0

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are a great choice for cooking on the griddle. As convenient and quick cooking as chicken breast, they have a deeper flavor and are more forgiving so they’re almost guaranteed to stay juicy after cooking. We like the heat the jalapeño ribs provide. If that’s not your thing, cut the seeds ribs out of the slices. Depending on how filled you like your fajitas, you may have extra vegetables; if so, save them to use in omelets or on pizza.

Flat Top Skirt Steak Fajitas

Cooking fajitas on a flat top griddle makes the process so easy because you can sear the steak, cook the vegetables, and toast the tortillas in three different heat zones at the same time. If you like spicy food, leave the ribs in the jalapeños.
