One-Pan Ground Pork and Cheddar Scramble
When you need a high-protein breakfast that doesn't require a lot of fuss, this savory pork and cheddar scramble hits the spot. Browned ground meat and fluffy eggs cook together in a single skillet, keeping cleanup to a minimum. It's naturally low in carbohydrates, making it a great fit for keto or carnivore diets. The melted cheese binds everything together with a rich, creamy finish that pairs perfectly with the seasoned pork.
Equipment
- Stovetop
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter or lard
- 8 ounces ground pork or ground beef
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 8 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 ounce cheddar cheese, shredded (about ¼ cup)
- 1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Instructions
- 1Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the ground pork and salt. Cook for about 4 minutes, breaking the meat apart with a spatula until no pink remains. Breaking the meat into small pieces ensures it cooks evenly and mixes well with the eggs.
- 2Pour in the beaten eggs and gently scramble them with a whisk. Continue cooking for about 3 minutes until the eggs are fully set.
- 3Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until well combined. Remove the skillet from the heat once the cheese melts.
Notes
- Swap: Ground beef or turkey works perfectly as a direct substitute for the ground pork.
- Storage: Cool leftovers completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat: Warm portions in a skillet over medium heat with a small amount of butter or lard, stirring frequently for about 2 minutes until heated through.
