Pig In A Skillet

Leftover Slow Cooker Kalua Pig and Instant Pot Kalua Pig make for a crazy-awesome component in other dishes! Case in point: Whole30-friendly Pig In A Skillet!

Our Pig In A Skillet recipe was originally featured in our Webby Award-winning iOs app.

This is a fantastic one-pan dish that’s perfect for breakfast, when I’m invariably in a rush to get my dawdling kids ready for school and out the door. I’d kill for enough free time to make a leisurely morning meal, but when I’m crunched for time, I’ll just grab some Slow Cooker or Instant Pot Kalua Pig from the fridge and toss it in a hot skillet with some eggs.

Serves 1

Ingredients:

  • 2 large pastured eggs
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon ghee or fat of choice
  • 2 slices prosciutto or sugar-free ham
  • ¼ cup Slow Cooker Kalua Pig or Instant Pot Kalua Pig
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Minced herbs (optional topping)

Equipment:

  • Small bowl
  • 8-inch cast iron skillet
  • Heat-resistant silicone spatula

Steps:

Crack the eggs into a bowl, and season with a pinch of salt. (Go easy with the salt—the Slow Cooker Kalua Pig and prosciutto are already seasoned, remember?) Heat the ghee in a small cast iron skillet over high heat, and tear the prosciutto slices (if using) into medium-sized pieces.

Toss the Kalua Pig into the hot skillet, and when it’s sizzling, add the prosciutto. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring to ensure even cooking.

Pop the yolks with your spatula. Cook for a minute or so until the egg sets and the edges turn golden brown.
