Eggs Baked in Ham Hash

Submitted by WhoKnew

"This looks like a simple, easy dish that comes together quickly for a brunch if some of the ingredients are prepared ahead of time. I liked that it was not a corned-beef hash recipe, too! Comes from "The Ultimate Cooking Course", 2003."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cups cooked ham, chopped
• 3 cups potatoes, cooked and chopped
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 -2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• salt & pepper, to taste
• 6 eggs
• hot pepper sauce, to taste
• parsley, for garnishing

directions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in frying pan; cook onion until soft, stirring occasionally.
3. Transfer onion to a bowl. Add ham, cheese, potatoes, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt & pepper; mix well to combine.
4. Spread hash evenly over greased baking dish in a layer approx 1 inch deep.
5. Make 6 hollows in the hash; slip an egg into each. This works most easily if you crack eggs individually into a bowl then slide them from the bowl to the hollow.
6. Melt remaining butter in small pan; season with hot pepper sauce to taste.
7. Drizzle seasoned butter over eggs & hash.
8. Bake until eggs are set and cooked to taste (15-20+ minutes).

I liked it as it had good flavor but the recipe doesn't tell us how to cook the potatoes, so I pan fried them and finished in the oven. A few weren't quite done. I did add some egg beaters over the top to add more egg into the "hash" I also would suggest cooking the onion very small dice.

i loved this recipe. I increased the potatoes to 4 cups and cut down the ham to 2 cups or so (all i had in the house). added garlic powder and only used 4 eggs. was a great tasting one-dish meal!
