Ingredients
• 7 oz / 200g ground pork
• 2 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 4 large eggs
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 3 tbsp butter
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Directions
2. Set your multi-cooker (like an Instant Pot) to the “Sauté” function and melt the butter in the pot. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
3. Add the ground pork, chopped bacon, and crushed garlic to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Break up the pork with a spoon and continue to cook for 5 minutes, until the pork is browned and the bacon is rendered.
4. Create four small wells in the pork mixture. Carefully crack one egg into each well. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny to your liking.
5. Press the “Cancel” button to turn off the heat. Serve immediately, straight from the pot.
