Quirky Hash & Eggs

Makes 4 servings

Nothing beats the classic sausage, eggs and hash brown breakfast—except this recipe. Replacing regular potatoes with their orange cousins provides more fiber and antioxidants and livens up the color of the plate, making this a filling, delicious, healthy and attractive meal that’s good at any time of day. Granny Smith apples add another twist on the classic, providing a crunchy sweetness that complements the soft potatoes. Slip this recipe into your back pocket and pull it out at your next brunch, impressing your family and friends.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. Italian turkey sausage
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ¼-inch pieces
2 medium Granny Smith apples, chopped
¼ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup chopped almonds
¼ tsp. salt
4 scallions, chopped
4 large eggs

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Slice the sausages into ½-inch pieces. Add the sausage pieces and sweet potatoes, cooking for 8–10 minutes, until the sausage is fully cooked.
2. Add the apples, cranberries, almonds and salt and cook, stirring, for 4–6 minutes more, or until potatoes are tender. Remove from heat and sprinkle with scallions.
3. Clean the pan and respray with cooking spray, then place over medium heat. Crack one egg at a time into the pan. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 2 minutes and then flip to cook the other side after the egg whites are set. Divide the hash among four serving plates, add an egg to each plate, and serve.
