Crispy Beef Belly Scramble with Aged Cheese
A rich and savory start to the day featuring crispy rendered beef belly bits folded into perfectly soft scrambled eggs, finished with grated aged cheese for an umami depth. Achieving the crispness of the beef and the fluffy texture of the eggs requires precise timing and heat control.

Step 2: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add the diced beef belly and render slowly for 8-10 minutes until the fat has melted and the beef pieces are golden brown and crispy. Remove the crispy beef bits with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

Step 3: Add the butter to the pan with the rendered beef fat. Once melted, pour in the whisked eggs. Cook for 3-4 minutes, continuously stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan with a spatula to create soft curds. Do not overcook; the eggs should still be slightly moist.
