Instructions
To make the pulled pork breakfast skillet:
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium high.
- Add pulled pork in a single layer, pushing it down with the spatula and allowing it to crisp up for 2 minutes.
- Next, reduce the heat to medium and push the pork to the side of the pan.
- Add the garlic and half of the green onion, and once fragrant, mixing it all together.
- Stir in spices, drained diced tomatoes, and the frozen hashbrowns, then push everything flat in the pan to get as even of a layer as possible.
- Cover and cook 5 minutes.
- Next flip, spray everything with cooking spray, cover and cook 4-5 minutes more.
- Flip, spray, turn the heat to high, cover, and cook another minute or so.
- Flip, turn heat to medium low, then create 4 wells in the hashbrowns for the eggs.
- Spray everything with cooking spray again, then crack 4 eggs into the wells, cover, and cook 2-3 minutes.
- When egg whites have set and no longer jiggle, remove from heat.
- Sprinkle the eggs with a touch of salt and pepper, then sprinkle the cheese over everything.
- Cover and allow the cheese to melt.
If you happen to have the leftover grease from cooking your pulled pork, it's highly encouraged to use that instead! So much flavor!
This ensures our hashbrowns and pork get really crispy!
To serve:
- Garnish with remaining green onion, cilantro, and hot sauce. Enjoy!
