Pork belly breakfast croissants

Easy
25 minutes
25 minutesBrunch just got a serious upgrade. Buttery croissants meet crispy, smoky pork belly, creamy mustard slaw and runny poached eggs – all the makings of a showstopper breakfast sandwich. They’re rich, indulgent and full of texture: crisp, creamy, flaky and tender in every bite.
Ingredients
Method
- 700 g Woolworths smoked pork belly roast
- 4 large free-range eggs
- 4 Woolworths all-butter croissants For the slaw:
- 1 bulb fennel, shaved
- 1 head baby cabbage, shaved
- 3 T Hellmann’s mayonnaise
- 1 T wholegrain mustard
- 2 t apple cider vinegar
Method
Ingredients
1. Preheat the oven and cook the pork belly according to package instructions. Once rested, slice and set aside.
2. To make the slaw, combine the fennel and cabbage in a bowl. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar and salt. Toss to coat and chill until ready to serve.
3. Poach the eggs to your liking. For best results, use fresh eggs and poach in simmering water with a splash of vinegar for 3–4 minutes.
4. Heat the croissants in an air-fryer, oven or a dry pan until flaky and just heated through. Slice open.
5. To assemble, layer each croissant with a generous scoop of slaw, a few slices of smoked pork belly, and top with a poached egg.
Cook’s note: For a spicy twist, add a smear of Dijon mustard or a dash of hot sauce. These are also delicious served open with extra slaw on the side.
