Description

A classic Corned Beef Hash Breakfast featuring crispy corned beef hash topped with perfectly poached eggs, making a hearty and satisfying start to your day.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can corned beef hash
  • 3 tablespoons water, plus more if needed
  • 4 eggs


Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 can of corned beef hash and spread it into a layer approximately ½ inch thick. Let it cook uncovered and undisturbed for about 10 minutes until the bottom is crispy.
  2. Create wells for the eggs: Push one edge of the corned beef in to make space for water. Create 4 wells in the hash, just deep enough to hold the eggs and prevent them from running.
  3. Add eggs and water: Crack the 4 eggs into the wells. Add 3 tablespoons of water to the cleared edge of the pan to facilitate poaching.
  4. Cover and poach eggs: Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low to poach the eggs. Check after 2 minutes and add another tablespoon of water if needed. Continue cooking for 1-2 more minutes depending on your preferred yolk consistency. Total poaching time should be about 3 minutes for runny yolks or 4 minutes for firmer yolks.
  5. Serve: Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, serve immediately to enjoy a warm and hearty breakfast.

Notes

  • For crispier hash, avoid stirring while cooking the initial layer.
  • Add a splash more water if the pan dries out during poaching to prevent burning.
  • Use a lid that fits well to trap steam and ensure even egg poaching.
  • Adjust the poaching time according to your preferred egg yolk consistency.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled or halved depending on servings needed.
