Preheat pellet grill to 425 °F.

step 5

Turn heat up to medium heat and in the same skillet, add left over grease from bacon and sausage and extra butter if needed. Add green onions and cook until fragrant and edges start to brown.

step 6

Add flour and cook, creating a light brown roux. Add milk slowly, stir and heat until mixture is thickened to the consistency of heavy cream. Salt and pepper to taste. Add a pinch of nutmeg. Pull skillet off heat.

step 7

Add eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms and mix together with the white sauce. Add shaved ham and cheese on top.

step 8

Lightly cover with tin foil and place in pellet grill until internal temperature reaches 145 °F, remove and continue cooking until cheese is slightly browned and melted and internal temperature has reached 165 °F.
