Oscar's Sunday Morning Baked Egg + Potato Hash

I'm always pestering O to make this dish and today seemed like the perfect time. We were both feeling slightly delicate this morning after having one too many whiskies last night and in my opinion, this baked egg and potato hash is the perfect cure! 

Ingredients ::

4 eggs (medium or large)

2 large baking potatoes (peeled and cubed)

chopped mushrooms

2 garlic cloves (chopped)

140g cheddar (grated)

2 or 3 diced bacon rashers

Spring onions (chopped)

Olive oil

1 tspn chopped sage
Salt + pepper to season.

Method ::

- Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan/Gas 6.

- Boil the potatoes for about 5 minutes and then drain.

- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the potatoes, mushrooms, garlic, bacon and spring onions for about 5-8 minutes until the mushrooms soften and the potatoes are slightly browned.

- Stir in half the sage and cook for another minute.

- Spoon the potato mixture into a baking dish. Whisk 2 of your eggs together and drizzle this evenly over the potato mixture. 

- Sprinkle the cheese and remaining sage. Make holes in the mixture and break in the remaining two eggs (I'm not a huge egg white fan, so you can feel free to just put the yolks in, like we do!).

- Bake in the over for about 12-15 minutes until the eggs are set and the cheese has melted. Add salt and pepper to season and voila! Enjoy!

This recipe is so easy to adapt and generally O just throws in whatever we happen to have in the fridge that day. So if you're vegetarian, you can leave out the bacon. I'm a huge fan of eggs, but I can be a little picky about how we cook them! I love mine scrambled (check out this link for some tasty scrambled egg recipes), whereas O is more of a poached egg man! Whatever your jam is, I hope this recipe rocks your boat! If you do happen to make it, please tag me in your photos so I can drool over them! :)
