Bacon & Leek Hash

Prep Time5

Cook Time25

Course: Breakfast, Main Course

Cuisine: British

Servings:

Calories: 376kcal

Ingredients

1 medium sized potato peeled and cut into cubes
1 rasher bacon visible fat removed, chopped
1/2 leek chopped
1 spring onion chopped
1 egg
20 grams reduced fat cheddar cheese grated
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
Low calorie cooking spray

Instructions

Boil your potato cubes for 10 minutes, or until soft, and drain in a colander. Give them a really good shake to create some fluffy edges!
Heat a small frying pan over a medium to high heat, and spritz with low calorie cooking spray. Cook the bacon for a few minutes. Add the potatoes, leek, and herbs to the pan, and fry for 5-10 minutes or until the leek is cooked and the potatoes are starting to turn a little crispy.
Add the half of the spring onion and stir well.
Create a hole in the middle of the pan, and crack in your egg.
Sprinkle the leek and potato with cheese.
Continue to cook until the white of the egg is cooked, but the yolk is still runny. This will take around 5 minutes.
Garnish with the remaining spring onion.
Serve and enjoy!
