Ingredients

4 servings
Pork Belly (skin on or off)150 g
Large Eggs2 large
Full-Fat Heavy Cream (no thickeners)20 ml
Cultured Butter10 g
Flaky Sea Saltto taste

Method

1
Slice the pork belly into small lardons (about 1.5 cm cubes). Place them in a cold cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan.
2
Turn the heat to medium-low. Slowly render the pork belly, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until the fat has largely melted away and the lardons are deeply golden, incredibly crispy, and caramelized – a true testament to the Maillard reaction. Remove the lardons with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving all rendered pork fat in the skillet. Season the crispy lardons generously with flaky sea salt.
3
While the pork renders, whisk the eggs and heavy cream vigorously in a bowl until the mixture is light and foamy. Season with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
4
Reduce the heat under the skillet containing the rendered pork fat to low. Add the cultured butter to the hot fat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
5
Cook the eggs gently, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, allowing them to form soft, moist curds. Remove from heat just before they are fully set to ensure an incredibly creamy, velvety texture.
6
To serve, spoon the creamy scrambled eggs onto a plate. Arrange the crispy pork belly lardons generously over the eggs. Drizzle with a spoonful of the warm, rich rendered pork fat from the skillet as a natural, luxurious glaze.
