Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork shoulder (or pork butt)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 cup Sugar-free BBQ sauce
- 3 large Eggs
- 3 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (for buns)
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
Instructions
Begin by combining salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and oregano in a small bowl. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the seared pork shoulder to a slow cooker. Pour apple cider vinegar and water around the pork.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
When the pork is almost done, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Separate the eggs yolks and whites, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another.
Add cream cheese, baking powder, and garlic powder to the egg yolks. Mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the yolk mixture.
Grease a baking sheet and spoon the egg mixture into small rounds to form buns, about 2 inches in diameter.
Top each bun with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden and firm.
Once the pork is done, remove it from the slow cooker and shred the meat using two forks. Mix the shredded pork with sugar-free BBQ sauce.
Assemble the sliders by placing a generous portion of pulled pork between two cloud bread buns. Brush the tops with melted butter before serving.
