The dish is absolutely beautiful with bright green brussels sprouts peeking through the golden-brown hash, contrasted with delicate shavings of caramelized Gruyère cheese. The poached eggs on top have a slightly runny yolk that intentionally drapes over the hash. A light sprinkling of vibrant red chili flakes and a drizzle of hollandaise sauce give it the perfect finishing touch.

Salute the morning with this innovative brunch recipe that perfectly toes the line between hearty breakfast and gourmet entree. We're featuring brussels sprouts in this unconventional twist on a savory breakfast hash, pairing them with indulgent gruyere cheese and robust country ham for a burst of complexity not commonly associated with a morning meal.

Ingredients (for 2)

Brussels sprouts - 1 cup - halved
Gruyère cheese - 100g - shaved
Country ham - 1/2 cup - diced
Potato - 2 medium - cubed
Egg - 2 large - none
Hollandaise sauce - 1/4 cup - none
Olive oil - to taste - none
Salt - to taste - none
Pepper - to taste - none
Red chili flakes - optional - for serving

Preparation

Step 1 - 🔥 🥘 🌰

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Toss in the halved Brussels Sprouts and stir fry until they start to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
Step 2 - 🔥 🍳 🥔

Add the cubed potatoes into the pan and cook until they’re slightly browned and fully cooked, roughly 10 minutes.
Step 3 - 🥩 🍳 🔥

Add the diced country ham to the pan and stir for 2 minutes until it gets a little crispy.
Step 4 - 🍳 🥚 🔥

With a spatula, create two small wells in the middle of the hash and crack an egg into each well. Cover the pan and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
Step 5 - 🍳 🧀 🔥

Spread shavings of Gruyère cheese liberally all over the hash and let it melt slightly from the pan's residual heat.
Step 6 - 🧂 🌶️ 🥘

Sprinkle salt, pepper and optional chili flakes over the hash to taste.
Step 7 - 🍽️ 🥘 🍯

Drizzle hollandaise sauce over the hash just before serving.

Additional

You can substitute country ham with bacon or prosciutto if you prefer. If you like your brunch a little spicy, feel free to add some hot sauce on top or mix in some diced jalapenos with the brussels sprouts. Kids can help by shaving the cheese or stirring the hash under supervision. This dish is perfect year-round but especially shines in late summer and early autumn when brussels sprouts are in season.
