It’s springtime, meaning a variety of delicious produce is available at your Heinen’s. Add color and flavor to your next breakfast or brunch with this hash topped with a poached egg.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons of olive oil
4 small-medium diced medium-sized Yukon gold potatoes
4 small-medium diced medium-sized red potatoes
15 to 20 sliced asparagus stalks
6 to 8 sliced purple asparagus stalks
½ peeled and small diced yellow onion
1 bunch of sliced green onions
1 seeded and small diced red bell pepper
4 finely minced cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon each chopped basil, oregano and chervil
1 cup each baby spinach and arugula
6 large eggs
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese for garnish

Preparation:

1. In a large cast-iron skillet heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the potatoes and cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
2. Next, add in the asparagus, onions, peppers and garlic and cook for 3 to 4 minutes over medium-high heat or until lightly browned.
3. Season the mixture with salt and pepper and fold in the herbs, spinach and arugula and keep warm.
4. Next, in a medium pot of simmering water, add in 1 tablespoon of salt and, using a spoon, stir in a circle about 15 times.
5. Crack each egg into a ramekin and then slowly add it to the center of the circular-moving, simmering water.
6. Cook the egg to the desired internal temperature. Over-medium takes about 2 to 3 minutes to poach.
7. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon.
8. Place the poached eggs over the warm hash and grate on some fresh Parmesan cheese.
