Description
This California-style brunch dish features a crispy hash brown topped with honey-flavored goat cheese, crispy pancetta, and a sunny-side-up egg, all balanced with fresh arugula and sweet Fuji apple slices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) baby arugula
- 1/2 a Fuji apple, sliced
- 1 egg
- 1 Trader Joe’s hash brown (or make your own like: http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/crispy_hash_browns/ )
- 3 Tbls. (1.5oz) vegetable oil
- 1 Tbls. (.5oz) honey flavor goat cheese
- 3 Tbls. (19 grams) pancetta, diced
- salt & pepper egg and hash-brown to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the baby arugula and Fuji apple. Dry the arugula and make a bed of it on the plate.
- Slice half the Fuji apple into 1/4-inch slices and fan them on top of the arugula.
- Heat a small frying pan over medium heat and add the pancetta. Cook for 3-4 minutes until crispy. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the vegetable oil and heat over medium heat. Add the hash brown and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- While the hash brown is cooking, warm the honey-flavored goat cheese slightly in the microwave or on the stovetop until just soft.
- Once the hash brown is done, place it on top of the apple slices and spread the warmed goat cheese over it.
- In the same pan, fry the egg to your liking, preferably sunny-side up for a runny yolk.
- Place the crispy pancetta over the goat cheese and top with the fried egg.
- Serve immediately, allowing the runny yolk to act as a sauce for the dish.
Notes
For a homemade hash brown, grate a potato, squeeze out excess moisture, and fry until crispy. Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking. Substitute pancetta with bacon if preferred. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
