Corned Beef Hash with Poached Eggs |
Cooking time: 30 minutes for menu Cooking schedule: see below for "menu" instructions |
We'll still have the taste of St. Patrick's Day but with out the time and work. The poached egg is optional, but we love big breakfasts, just not in the morning. If you've never poached an egg, relax, it's easy... I'm doing my hash with leftover ham, which was just as good!
Corned Beef Hash with Poached Eggs Time: 30 minutes
A classic, and so easy to do! Cut up the leftovers and fry until crispy on the bottom. Serve with any leftover Horseradish sauce and a poached egg.
2 medium cooked potatoes, leftover
2 medium cooked carrots, leftover
2 stalks cooked celery, leftover
2 cooked leeks, leftover
2 wedges cooked cabbage, leftover
8 - 12 oz leftover corned beef or ham
1 onion
1 tbs oil
2 eggs
1 tbs white vinegar
Chop onion. Cut all other vegetables into small pieces, about 1/3" (1cm) cubes or slices. Cut beef or ham the same. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 7 minutes. Add everything else and let fry, undisturbed, for about 5 minutes. Then turn/stir, spread back out and let fry, undisturbed, for 5 minutes. Repeat, turning and frying until it is as golden and crispy as you like it. (I fried mine about 20 minutes.) When it's done to your liking, reduce heat and poach eggs. To serve, put a large serving of hash on each plate and top with a poached egg.
Eggs: Fill a large skillet with water. The water should be around 1 1/2" (4cm) deep, (2 inches (5 cm) would be better). Heat water over medium-high heat. Add vinegar. When water is softly boiling poach eggs: one at a time break egg into a small saucer. Swirl a spoon in the water where you will put the egg - off to one side. When water is swirling drop egg into center. With slotted spoon try to keep the white together. Do next egg. With regular spoon scoop some hot water over tops of eggs. Poach for 2 - 3 minutes or until white is set but yolk is still very soft. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and put on hash.
