BREAKFAST HASH
A hash is essentially any dish involving chunks of meat and potatoes fried up in a pan. Our breakfast hash uses Montreal smoked brisket, potatoes and savoury herbs, with poached eggs served on top. If you poach your eggs soft the yolks will run over the rest of your hash, creating a sort of sauce.
Yield: Serves 6.
