Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 230°C/210°C fan. Place the hash browns on a shallow baking tray and cook for 20 minutes, until crisp and golden.

Step 2

Add the purple sprouting broccoli (or seasonal veg of your choice), mushrooms, thyme leaves, olive oil and a pinch of salt to another large baking tray. Sit on the lower shelf of the oven and cook for 20 minutes, until tender.

Step 3

Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil then lower the heat to a gentle simmer, you’re looking for small bubbles gently rising from the bottom of the pan. Crack 2 or 3 eggs into the pan, as close to the surface of the water as you can, and cook for 2 ½ -3 minutes, until the white is opaque. Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs and place on a plate lined with kitchen paper. (Tip: if you find it tricky to crack the eggs straight into a pan, crack each egg into a ramekin first then pour gently into the pan.)

Step 4

Divide the hash browns between the plates and top with 2 poached eggs each, some roasted vegetables, ham hock and grated cheddar.
