Chorizo, Bacon, Spinach, Potatoes Breakfast Mix


Pin It
I was watching an episode of Giada at Home the other day as I cooked.  I didn't have all the ingredients for her Salami, Bacon Hash so we substituted several items and we created our own version.

5 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
Set aside to dry
Once dry, on medium high heat and a little bit of olive oil, cook till golden and crispy. Stir frequently for about 30 minutes.
6 stripes of bacon cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Cook bacon till brown and crispy
5 cups of spinach, 2 tsp of nutmeg, 2 tbsp of chili paste, and ground chorizo
1/3 cup of ground chorizo, formed into 1/2 inch balls
1 green bell pepper, 1 red bell pepper, 1 medium sweet onion chopped
5 cloves of garlic, minced
Fresh ground black pepper to taste
 On medium high heat, cook bell peppers, onion, and garlic
Once vegetables are soft, add spinach, nutmeg, chili paste, and chorizo
Stir in potatoes and bacon
create 4 holes to crack the eggs in the spaces
 Cover and cook
Ingredients:
  • 6 slices of bacon, but into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 5 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 medium sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 5 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup ground chorizo formed into 1/2 inch balls
  • 5 cups of fresh spinach
  • 1 tbsp chili paste or to taste
  • 2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 4 eggs at room temperature
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
 Directions:
  • Pre-heat oven 400 degree F.
  • Cook bacon over medium-high heat till crispy, stirring occasionally. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. About 15 minutes.
  • Add the russet potato cubes to the bacon grease, add a pinch of salt and pepper and cook till golden and crispy. Stir frequently. About 30 minutes. Spread potatoes in a single layer onto a greased cook sheet and place in oven at 400 degree F for an additional 15 minutes. We found this really made the potatoes crispy and less greasy.
  • While the potatoes are in the oven, add oil, salt, and pepper to your pan. Combine onion, bell peppers and cook till soft. About 5 minutes.
  • Add spinach, chorizo, nutmeg, garlic chili paste and cook till spinach are slightly wilted. About 2 minutes.
  • Gently fold in bacon and potatoes.
  • Push mix aside to create 4 holes.
  • Break an egg into each space.
  • Cover and cook till eggs are as desire. About 5 minutes.
Eat!

I would recommend watching the eggs cook. As you may notice in the pictures, we over cooked ours so the yolk was not as runny as we like. Still, it was very delicious! Hope you give this a try, enjoy!
