Instructions
Prepare the Hash
- If using bacon, crisp bacon up in a skillet, then set aside on paper towel. Wipe out pan and re-use.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat and add onions. Stir for 2-3 minutes.
- Add sliced Brussels sprouts and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Lower heat to medium and stir frequently, until Brussels sprouts are melting and tender, about 7 minutes.
- Crumble cooled bacon into the Brussels sprouts, stirring to incorporate. Keep on very low heat while making eggs.
Finish and Serve
- Poach or fry eggs to desired doneness.
- Divide Brussels sprout hash among 3-4 bowls. Top with eggs.
- Sprinkle eggs with finishing salt, cracked pepper, and Aleppo pepper or chili flakes.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, skip the bacon and use vegetarian baco bits or simply omit.
- Aleppo pepper adds a mild, fruity heat. If unavailable, red chili flakes work as a substitute.
- The Brussels sprouts should be sliced thin for quick, even cooking.
