Škvarková nátierka, a traditional Slovak pork crackling spread with eggs and pickles, is a way to use up leftover pork cracklings. Grind the cracklings, boiled eggs, and pickles together in a meat grinder, then season with mustard, pressed garlic, and salt. Spread on slices of bread and garnish with pieces of sour pickle. Serve for breakfast, as a midmorning snack, or alongside a beer.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Grind the pork cracklings, eggs, and pickles in a meat grinder. Season with salt to taste, then add the mustard and pressed garlic.
Mix thoroughly, spread on slices of bread, and garnish with sour pickle.
Tip: Gently squeeze the pickles before grinding to keep the spread from becoming runny. If you don't have a meat grinder, use a food chopper, pulsing the cracklings briefly until finely chopped.
