The Aristocrat Breakfast Sandwich

Anyone from New Jersey knows what a pork roll, egg & cheese is. The Aristocrat is a Jersey classic taken to the next level with the addition of some bacon onion jam and baby arugula. What is pork roll you ask? Pork roll is a big cured and smoked sausage of sorts that is sliced like lunch meat and grilled. Imagine if bologna and that famous ham in a can had a baby. If pork roll isn’t available in your area, you can substitute any breakfast meat that you like. They will all taste great!
