Pork Belly, Eggs & Cheese

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the pork belly with salt and pepper. Place it in a baking dish and roast for about 2-3 hours until tender. Let it cool, then slice into cubes.

  2. 2

    Make the Hash Brown Potato Gratin

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish. Thinly slice the potatoes and layer half in the dish. In a bowl, mix heavy cream, cheddar cheese, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour half of this mixture over the potatoes. Layer the remaining potatoes and then pour the rest of the cream mixture on top. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden and bubbly.

  3. 3

    Fry the Eggs

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry them until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On each slice of house bread, layer some pork belly, a fried egg, crumbled queso fresco, and drizzle with chimichurri sauce. Serve alongside the potato gratin.
