Top 10 Christmas dinner recipes

Joyful & triumphant

Some people might suggest that the middle of winter is an odd time to be firing up outdoor oven. Those people have never eaten Christmas food from a Big Green Egg.

An EGG takes Christmas feasting to a whole different level. If you’re roasting meat, it locks in all those precious juices and provides a gentle kiss of smokiness from the coals. Roast potatoes emerge with a perfect golden crust. Glazed parsnips achieve that elusive balance of sweetness and char. From pan-fried sprouts to a baked mincemeat tart, the EGG’s many modes can elevate the flavour of all your festive favourites. Here are our top 10 Christmas dinner classics.

Christmas on the EGGspander

If you have EGGspander System, which significantly increases the cooking area and allows for the simultaneous use of multiple modes, you can cook your entire Christmas dinner on the EGG. To help, we’ve created a step-by-step running order. It starts with you taking your turkey out of the fridge and ends 5½ hours later with a mince tart in the oven and the roast bird being dished up alongside a chorus line of side dishes and sauces.
