Here’s a fun little twist on breakfast. I recently tried avocado toast and I really enjoyed it so I figured I’d experiment a little.

Swapped out the toast with homemade scrapple.

A very tasty breakfast! I mashed one avocado with a little bit of salt, topped the scrapple with the mashed avocado, fried egg, hot chili flakes and a couple of dabs of sriracha.

Usually a recipe is always changed to a healthier alternative. I figured I could take a healthy recipe and bastardize it! Lol

now that looks interesting, not big on avocados but maybe the scrapple would over come that

I'm sold. Send me a plate! Looks darn tasty to me!

Thanks guys, I felt like being creative. Best part was that I got to eat my creation. I enjoyed it and will make it again!

Thanks for the likes.

Reverse that for me :) not sure about this scrapple thing :) If its like headcheese I am a hard pass on texture alone. If it is more like pan pudding the heck yes!

Thanks Bear and thanks for the like. This was born out of boredom. There’s plenty of just scrapple and eggs in my future.

Scrapple nothing like the texture of headcheese, I shy away from that stuff.

I’ve never heard of pan pudding, is that liver? I always tell people that scrapple taste like a bacon flavored potato pancake (latke). Crispy outside, soft pillowy interior.

Scrapple and American Pan Pudding can be very similar. Spices may vary, meat used and may or may not contain Cornmeal.
Example...In PA, pork scraps, skin, offal and meat from Boiled Bones, is cooked with herbs and spices then ground Fine, then cookes, a second time, with the Cornmeal and some of the gelatinous broth. This is Panned and sets into Scrapple. Combine just the Ground meat a bit of broth for the gelatin and you got Pan Pudding or locally PUDDIN'.
Head Cheese can start out with similar meat, seasonings and preparation. But the simmered meat is just Chopped, coarsely, and cooled floating in the gelatinous broth. While the flavor can be similar, I'd say the Texture of Head Cheese is an acquired taste...JJ

Just curious for those who make it or have enjoyed it at a restaurant, what toppings have you had besides the toast and avocado? I whip it up at home occasionally, but I'm interested in hearing about your experiences.

That's thinking outside the box for sure! Love the ingredients, but would have never thought to put the avocado ON the scrapple like that.

Virginia bieng PA adjacent we mostly have scrapple in our stores. At least as far south as central VA scrapple is what we find in the stores. I dont know if Southern VA stores carry liver mush.

When my wife goes to see family in NC, also adjacent of course, she always brings back liver pudding or liver mush. Similar to scrapple with a more liver-forward taste. Not a nasty liver forward, a tasty one. It's pork liver. Like chicken livers its a mild liver. It's what is also used in boudin.

Here's what we have in the fridge. Very good stuff. They do have scrapple down there but we can get that here and prefer the liver mush/pudding to scrapple...but both are very good.

I dont think I've ever made avocado toast, but I do make an outstanding guacamole.

Your question made me curious so I looked around...basically people are putting nearly anything on it!

The smoked salmon and red onion version on this web page appeals to me. I love cream cheese and chives or dill with smoked salmon on toasted baguette slices. This would kind of be in that lane. She does a pico version too, which to me is in the same lane as guac.

Howdy, this was an attempt at something different, and although it was a very good combo, I rarely have avocado on hand the same time as scrapple. This was a substitute for having no toast.

As far as toppings, I enjoy scrapple fried up and plain with an over easy egg (dippy egg) to eat it with the runny yolk. The most common toppings in my area are to eat scrapple with apple butter or maple syrup. People eat it with ketchup but that’s for heathens.
