#bb Breakfast Potato + Egg Hash

Coined by GP herself, I have been cooking #boyfriendbreakfasts for my boyfriend (still weird to say, but I like it a lot) on Saturday or Sunday mornings. I try not to follow a recipe, but use what is 1) leftover in the kitchen that I need to use and 2) what is seasonal, all while incorporating vegetables, greens, and tasty spices into the dish. Like many, being in the kitchen is a form of therapy for me, and after an often long and hard week, it’s my way to disconnect, be creative, and fuel my body. I won’t say P’s been eating healthier since dating me but… I do think I cook a mean, healthy breakfast that does include a lot of plants . We have very different palates, but it still got an 8/10 rating, so I guess I’ll take it.

Serves: 2-3

Time to cook: 25 minutes

Equipment needed: cutting board, knife, toaster, mixing bowl, cast iron skillet, spatula.

___________ Ingredients:

• 2 medium russet potatoes, rinsed and chopped into 1/2 inch squares (skin on)

• 2 tsps chipotle seasoning

• 2 tbsps olive oil

• 8 cherry tomatoes

• 2 loosely packed cups organic baby spinach

• 4 eggs

• 1 tbsp orgenoa

• salt and papper to taste

• 1/2 cup organic shredded cheese (I used cheddar)

• 1/4 cup cilantro, coarsely sliced

• 1/4 cup green onions, finely sliced

• Toast for the side (this flourless sprouted bread is my go-to)

• Optional add on’s: salsa and avocado

___________ Recipe:

• Chop all ingredients and have pan, cutting board, knife, bowl, and skillet ready.

• In a bowl, toss potatoes in chipotle seasoning. Add olive oil to the cast iron skillet on medium-high heat.

• Wait until oil is shimmering, then add in potatoes into the skillet then put the lid on, stirring every 2-3 minutes x 10 minutes until lightly browned.

• Add whole tomatoes and stir occasionally another 5 minutes. Once the tomatoes are slightly softened, add in spinach, stirring every few minutes until wilted.

• Spread mixture evenly in the skillet with the spatula, then add the 4 eggs to the dish, keeping the yolk intact. Add in oregano, salt, and pepper. Put lid on x another 5 minutes, letting the eggs cook.

• Add the cheese, and place lid back on one more time x 5 minutes. While this is going, you van toast your bread. Then, stir together in the skillet.

• Place the mixture onto a plate with a side of toast. Add cilantro and green onion on top, or add your salsa and avocado.

Best with coffee + conversation. Xx
