Ingredients
- • pork belly: 1 pound, skin scored
- • baby potatoes: 1 pound, halved
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • sea salt: 1 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • eggs: 4 large
- • unsalted butter: 2 tablespoons
- • maple syrup: 1/4 cup
- • fresh thyme: 1 teaspoon, chopped
- • garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the pork belly on a wire rack over a baking sheet, skin side up. Rub with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
- 2 Meanwhile, in a large oven-safe skillet, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Roast alongside the pork belly for 20-25 minutes until tender and golden brown.
- 3 Remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces. Stir the cooked pork belly into the skillet with the roasted potatoes.
- 4 Create four wells in the potato and pork belly mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- 5 While the eggs bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the maple syrup and fresh thyme, whisking until smooth and bubbly. Drizzle the maple-butter sauce over the skillet before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve this indulgent breakfast skillet straight from the oven for maximum impact. Pair it with a simple side salad of mixed greens tossed in a light vinaigrette to balance the richness of the dish. For a complete breakfast experience, consider adding a side of crusty bread or warm croissants to mop up the delicious maple-butter drizzle. As for beverages, a freshly brewed cup of coffee or a frothy cappuccino will complement the savory and sweet notes of the skillet beautifully. Alternatively, an orange mimosa could add a touch of sparkle to your morning meal, making it feel like a special occasion.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, allow the skillet to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and warm the skillet in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. If reheating individual portions, a microwave can also work, but be sure to cover the dish to retain moisture.
