HASH WITH EGGS
ACTIVE: 30 min l TOTAL: 30 min l SERVES: 2
2 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
1 medium sweet potato (about
1 pound), chopped
½ small red onion, finely chopped
½ red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 11- to 12-ounce Southwest-style
chopped salad kit
2 tablespoons sour cream
Grated zest of 1 lime, plus
1 tablespoon lime juice
4 large eggs
¼ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Hot sauce, for serving
- Preheat the oven to 425 ̊. Put the bacon on
a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet or baking
dish and bake until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes.
Remove to a paper towel–lined plate with a
slotted spoon, leaving the drippings on the
baking sheet. Add the sweet potato, red onion
and bell pepper to the baking sheet and
season with the chili powder, ½ teaspoon
salt and a few grinds of pepper; toss well
to coat. Bake until the vegetables are tender
and browned, about 18 minutes. - Meanwhile, thinly slice the vegetables from
the salad kit and transfer to a large bowl. In
a medium bowl, whisk the dressing from the
salad kit with the sour cream and lime juice;
set aside. - Stir the lime zest into the vegetables on
the baking sheet and make 4 wells in the
mixture; crack 1 egg into each. Bake until the
egg whites are almost set, 6 to 8 minutes.
Sprinkle the eggs with the Mexican cheese
blend and the shredded cheese from the
salad kit. Continue to bake until the cheese
melts, 2 more minutes. - Sprinkle the salad over the hash and
drizzle with the dressing mixture. Top with
the tortilla strips from the salad kit and the
bacon and cilantro. Serve with hot sauce.
