What is Pork Roll?
Pork roll was developed in 1856 by John Taylor of Trenton, New Jersey, and was originally sold as "Taylor Ham." Case is the other rival brand for NJ's most prized salted pig product. Both brands are readily available in grocery stores around the Trenton area.
The farther the radius extends, however, Taylor seems to prevail. Amazon has made procuring either Taylor or Case's pork roll quite convenient no matter your location.
Cooking Steps
Here, I diced and browned the pork roll before adding to the muffin tin along with the other veggies. All combine deliciously with great flavor and texture.
Next, fill the muffin cups almost to the rim with the egg and fontina mixture. Bake until set, about 20 minutes. Super easy!
These freezer-friendly muffins will stay good in the fridge for four days if not frozen. And they're perfectly portable for breakfast on the go. Enjoy!
