Bacon, Egg & Brussels Sprout Hash

This recipe is right up my alley. I love skillet meals — they are easy to prep, easy to clean, and can be served directly from the skillet they're cooked in.

When Brussels sprouts are in season, I skip my usual Low-Carb Shakshuka and make this holiday inspired breakfast hash instead.

This keto breakfast hash is simply delicious. It has all of our favourite things: caramelised onion and garlic cooked in buttery ghee with crispy bacon, Brussels sprouts, all topped with runny eggs. You'll need just 8 ingredients and 15 minutes prep time. Enjoy!

Step-by-step

1. Slice the onion and mince the garlic.

   

2. Trim and slice the Brussels sprouts.

   

3. Grease a skillet with ghee or duck fat. Add sliced bacon and cook on medium-high for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned and rendered.

4. Add the onion and cook until lightly browned for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for a minute.

   

5. Add the sliced Brussels sprouts, mustard, chicken stock (or water) and season with salt and pepper. Stir through and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender.

6. Remove the lid. Using a spatula, create four small wells and crack in the eggs. Cook until the whites are opaque and cooked through while the egg yolks are still runny. Optionally, you can cover the skillet with a lid to cook faster.

   

7. Eat immediately while still warm. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh herbs such as parsley or chives.
