Imagine crispy hashbrowns, juicy pulled pork, and gooey cheese all in one dish!

Ingredient Substitutions
Hash browns can be replaced with grated cauliflower or zucchini for a low-carb option. Squeeze out excess moisture before cooking and use a 1:1 ratio. This substitution reduces carbohydrates while adding more vitamins and fiber. Pulled pork can be substituted with shredded jackfruit for a vegetarian alternative. Season the jackfruit with BBQ sauce and spices to mimic the flavor of pulled pork. This option is lower in calories and fat while providing a similar texture. Sharp cheddar cheese can be replaced with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version. Use about 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast to replace the cheese, adjusting to taste. This substitution adds a cheesy flavor while increasing B-vitamins and protein content. When using these alternatives, cooking times may need slight adjustments to ensure proper texture and doneness.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 cups hash browns (frozen or fresh)
- 1/4 cup minced white onion
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup pulled pork with bbq sauce
- 3-4 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Chopped scallions (for garnish)
Step 1: Prepare the Skillet and Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
While the oven is heating, add oil to a large, oven-safe skillet, preferably cast iron, and place it over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the hash browns and onions to the skillet.
Cook according to the package instructions, reducing the cooking time by 3 minutes.
Sprinkle the mixture with salt and toss to ensure even seasoning.
Step 2: Add Eggs and BBQ Pulled Pork
With the hash browns and onions evenly spread in the skillet, use the back of a spoon to create 3-4 wells in the mixture.
Crack an egg into each well.
Dollop the BBQ pulled pork equally around the eggs, ensuring each portion has a good amount of both eggs and pork.
Step 3: Bake the Dish
Carefully transfer the entire skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites have become opaque and the yolks are still shiny and slightly runny.
Step 4: Melt the Cheese
Once the eggs are to your liking, sprinkle cheese over the top of the dish.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 1 minute, or until the cheese has melted to a gooey perfection.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Remove the skillet from the oven, taking care as it will be very hot.
Garnish the dish with chopped scallions for a fresh touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty breakfast or brunch meal!
