This quick and easy dish is a great alternative to a breakfast sandwich. Make your hash with any leftover bread you have and fry it with bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and egg.
Ingredients
4 tsp oil
250g leftover bread (ciabatta or baguette works well), cut into 3cm cubes
250g smoked bacon, cut into small pieces
300g chestnut mushrooms, cut into quarters
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
250g cherry tomatoes, halved
4 eggs
75g mature Cheddar, grated
Directions
1. Heat 3 tsp oil over a medium-high heat in a large, deep frying pan. Add the bread cubes and cook until starting to crisp or crisped all over (depending on how you like it).
2. Remove the bread cubes to a plate, put the pan back on the heat and add the remaining 1 tsp oil.
3. Add the bacon, mushrooms, garlic powder and onion powder; season. Fry for 5-10 mins until everything is cooked through and the water from the mushrooms has cooked off.
4. Put the bread cubes back in the pan along with the tomatoes and stir to mix through. Preheat the grill to high.
5. Make 4 spaces in the hash and break an egg into each one, sprinkle the cheese over and around and cook for 5 mins until the bottoms of the eggs are starting to cook. Pop under a hot grill to finish off and melt the cheese.
