Red Flannel Hash Napoleons

Red Flannel Hash Napoleons make for a simply beautiful and delicious breakfast dish. The savory, beet-infused corned beef hash – combined with the smoked bacon and served atop a flakey puffed pastry – makes for a sophisticated, yet fun morning treat.

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 6 pastry

Ingredients

• 12  ounces puff pastry (For frozen puff pastry sheets, use part of the package, thaw before using)
• 3  slices smoked bacon, diced
• 1 1⁄2 cups  chopped onions
• 2 1⁄2 cups  canned beets (sliced grade A fancy, drained)
• 3  cups  canned  corn beef hash
•  vegetable oil, as needed

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350°F Roll out puff pastry 3/8-inch thick; cut into 9, 3-inch circles*. Place circles on parchment-lined baking sheet, one-inch apart. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool; cut in half horizontally to make 18 thinner circles.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp; remove with slotted spoon, leaving bacon drippings in the pan. Set bacon aside on paper towel to drain. Add onions to pan; sauté until golden brown. Add reserved bacon to onions. Remove half the onion mixture; reserve. Add beats to onion mixture remaining in pan and heat thoroughly. Keep warm.
3. In a separate large skillet, combine hash and reserved onion mixture. Brown over medium heat, adding oil as needed.
4. For each serving, place 1 puff pastry circle on plate; top with a heaping tablespoon of hash and 2 to 3 beet slices. Repeat layers, ending with a third puff pastry circle. Garnish plate with a few beet slices.
