Ham and Potato Hash with Egg and Beans

Who doesn’t love ‘Brunch’? This is certainly worth getting up for, so simple to do AND healthy! Why not serve this up with the Sunday papers for a long and luxurious Sunday morning?

Serves 4.

600g Potatoes chopped into small chunks

Low – calorie cooking spray

2 leeks, trimmed washed and sliced

175g lean ham all fat removed

2tbs wholegrain mustard

Salt and black pepper

5 eggs

2 x 415g reduced sugar and salt baked beans

Method

Preheat the oven to 200c, gas 6, 400f

Boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water for 5 minutes until just tender. Drain well and leave in the colander to steam dry.

Meanwhile, spray an ovenproof pan with the cooking spray. Add the leeks with a splash of water and fry until very soft and squishy. Add a few more spray of the oil, tip in the potatoes, along with the ham, and fry to crisp a little.

Stir in the mustard, 1 egg and a good amount of salt and black pepper. With a fork roughly break up some of the potatoes. Flatten down the mixture, spray the top with some more oil and bake in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes until the top is crisp.

Meanwhile gently heat the baked beans in a saucepan or microwave and poach the remaining 4 eggs in an egg poacher until cooked but slightly runny, about 4 minutes.

Serve the potato hash on a warm plate with the poached egg and spoon over some beans.
