A delicious breakfast or brunch dish perfect for the weekend. This Broccoli & Potato Hash is packed full of vegetables and topped with a fried egg.
Broccoli for breakfast?!
I can imagine this is the reaction a few of you may have when you see this Broccoli & Potato Hash. People all over the world eat lots of different vegetables for breakfast so why not broccoli?
I love broccoli, specifically Tenderstem broccoli. I always have some in the fridge and eat it numerous times each week. One of my favourite ways to eat it is my Roasted Parmesan Tenderstem Broccoli.
But one meal I hadn’t eaten it for was breakfast. I used my Chorizo & Cavolo Nero Hash recipe for inspiration and came up with this lighter, vegetarian recipe.
This Broccoli & Potato Hash is more suited to breakfast and brunch in my opinion because I haven’t added garlic.
Perfect for weekend brunch
I know a lot of people eat differently at the weekend from during the week. If you’re having a relaxing weekend and having a lie in, brunch may be you go-to meal.
This Broccoli & Potato Hash is perfect for this. It is simple to make so you can continue the relaxed and half asleep feel while making this!
I have suggested cutting the vegetables into quite a small dice as this speeds up the cooking time. You can absolutely cut them into larger pieces and just allow for a slightly longer cook time.
I realise when you’re having a lazy weekend, you might not feel like dicing vegetables.
Broccoli & Potato Hash makes great leftovers
You could easily make a larger portion of this on a Sunday and keep it in the fridge ready to reheat on Monday morning.
You could reheat it in the microwave if you’re tight for time, or in a pan to ensure you don’t loose the crispness of the potatoes.
Then just top with a fresh fried egg and you have a delicious breakfast for a Monday morning that took minutes to assemble. Who wouldn’t want to start the working week with this Broccoli & Potato Hash?!
