All Day Poached Eggs with Hash Browns

Perfect your egg poaching with this winning meal, whatever the occasion or the time of day! Make it seasonal by swapping the vegetables to showcase the best of what’s in season.

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.
