Taylor Pork Roll Breakfast Sandwich
I’ve been very patiently waiting to make it out to the east coast for this moment…the Taylor pork roll sandwich. Considered a delicacy, Taylor pork was created by John Taylor in Trenton, NJ in 1856. The cured meat contains pork, salt, sugar, and spices that formed into a large roll and smoked. It is kind of similar in flavor to a hotdog, but much firmer in texture. This pork is topped on griddled bread of your choice with a fried egg and cheese; sometimes served with ketchup.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 croissants
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices Taylor pork roll
- 2 slices cheese
Instructions
- Melt 1/2 tbsp of butter in a skillet. Toast the croissants cut side down for 2 minutes over medium heat.
- Flip and toast for another minute. Remove from the skillet.
- Add the pork slices into the skillet.
- Brown for 2 minutes a side. Remove from the pan.
- Melt the other 1/2 tbsp of butter. Crack in the eggs and cook to your liking.
- Place the cheese and pork roll on the bottom half of the croissant. Place the egg on the top half.
