SEATTLE — When making breakfast, eggs are always a good choice. But what if you want them for dinner? Chef Tom Douglas has a recipe that would taste great any time of the day. He joined us from the Hot Stove Society kitchen.
Breakfast for Dinner: Winter Edition (Serves 2)
Ingredients:
- 2 sweet potatoes, peel on, grated on the largest section of a box grater
- Generous knob of butter
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 oz smoked salmon, we like Gerard and Dominique
- 2 oz soft cheese, like a chevre, we like Meredith Dairy
- 3 organic large eggs
- Picked herbs – we used dill, parsley, and thyme – chopped fine
- 2 oz fennel, sliced thin
- 2 oz radicchio, sliced thin
- 2 oz watercress
- 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- For the Hashbrown: Melt a generous amount of butter in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Mix grated sweet potato with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Add to pan and flatten into a large pancake. Cook each side until dark brown, almost black. Don’t be afraid of dark color, you want the sugars to caramelize.
- For the Omelet: Beat the 3 eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Melt a knob of butter in a nonstick pan over low to medium heat. Add chopped herbs to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds. Pour eggs over herbs and cook gently until set. Flip the omelet and top with smoked salmon and soft cheese. Turn off the heat and allow the warm pan to finish the eggs – we like ours a little soft still but cook to your liking. Fold into an omelet shape as you turn the eggs out from the pan onto a warm plate.
- For the Salad: Cut a large lemon in half. Sprinkle each half generously with sugar and brulee using a torch until dark brown. Mix fennel, watercress, and radicchio in a bowl and squeeze the bruleed lemon over top. Drizzle with olive oil until dressed to your liking.
- Serve a slice of the sweet potato hashbrown next to the omelet and top with the winter salad, using the other half of the bruleed lemon for garnish.
