Breakfast Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pork Belly

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the pork belly and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Eggs

    In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook to your desired doneness. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Slice the Tomato

    While the eggs are cooking, slice the large tomato into thick slices.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of bread, layer the crispy pork belly, cooked eggs, tomato slices, and cheddar cheese. Top with fresh basil and place the second slice of bread on top.

  5. 5

    Press and Toast

    Return the sandwich to the skillet, pressing down gently. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
