(spiced skinny chops, soft herbed eggs + sweet sauce)
Serves 4

Sometimes it’s nice to have breakfast for dinner, especially on those nights when you don’t feel like cooking for hours. Prepare the soft scrambled egg ingredients before cooking so that the eggs can be cooked quickly while the meat is resting.

What you need:
1 tablespoon salted butter
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons Cool Smoke Everything Rub
6 (3-4 ounce) pork chop (skinny chops!)
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 ½ cups Cool Smoke BBQ Red Sauce
9 large eggs
6 tablespoons half and half
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ cup chopped scallions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

What to do:
1. Season Pork Chops: In small bowl or cup, combine the salted butter with 1 teaspoon of the Cool Smoke Everything Rub and microwave on high for 30 seconds to melt the butter. Brush the pork chops evenly on both sides with the seasoned butter, then dust the pork chops evenly on both sides with 1 teaspoon of the Cool Smoke Everything Rub. Let the chops sit, uncovered, for 30 minutes at room temperature.

2. Warm Sauce: Place the BBQ sauce in saucepan and warm gently over low heat .

3. Prep Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, half and half, and salt for 30 seconds, until well combined and pale yellow in color. Fold in the scallions and chives.

4. Cook Pork Chops: Heat canola oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pan sear pork chops quickly, being careful not to overcook.

5. Cook Eggs: While the pork chops are resting, in a medium nonstick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Add the egg mixture and cook for 30 seconds, until the eggs begin to set on the outside edges of the pan. With a rubber spatula release the edges of the egg and push them toward the center of the skillet. Cook, continuously fluffing and moving the eggs around the skillet for 1 to 2 minutes more, until they are set. The eggs should look slightly runny. Immediately transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with the remaining 1teaspoon Cool Smoke Everything Rub.

To Serve: Top each chop with a bit of Cool Smoke BBQ Red Sauce and serve with the soft scrambled eggs. Serve extra sauce on the side.
