Pulled Pork, Egg and Waffles


Makes 2 servings.

I was in a quandary, I had leftover pulled pork and I wanted to try using it in a different way – then inspiration struck when I saw my waffle maker. What I came up with was a cross between breakfast and dinner. I first made a Belgian waffle, covered it with Dr. Pepper® Pulled Pork smothered in Peach Balsamic BBQ sauce then topped with two over easy fried eggs. When you cut into it the yolks creamy flavor balanced out the tartness of the pulled pork and the crisp waffle held it all together. 

Ingredients

2 Belgian waffles (don’t make them too crispy)
2 C Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork with BBQ Sauce*
1 TBS Salted Butter
4 Large Eggs
Salt and Pepper to taste

Prepare 2 Belgian waffles according to your favorite recipe or buy frozen and prepare according to package directions. I used Bisquick® and the recipe on the box for my waffles.

Reheat the pulled pork. Make sure it has BBQ sauce on it and is “wet”. Spread 1 cup of pulled pork on each waffle.

Heat the butter in a large non-stick skillet and fry the eggs over easy. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place 2 fried eggs on top of the pulled pork.  Serve immediately.

*Pronto Substitute

Pulled Pork – You can substitute any pulled pork as long as it has a BBQ sauce on it.
