Cast-Iron Mixed Grill Breakfast

This is the breakfast you make when the day involves yard work or a long drive. The challenge is timing, since pork chop, sausage, bacon and eggs all cook at different rates. The oven solves that: sear the meats on the stove, then let them finish on a single hot cast-iron pan while you fry the eggs. Brine the chop overnight in salted water with a spoon of sugar and it will stay juicy even if it waits a few minutes. Serve straight from the skillet with strong coffee.
