Now here’s breakfast you can enjoy all day—that is if you are into that kind of thing.
Lucky for me (well, sort of) breakfast is the most popular meal in my home. I know, I’m really working the baby to even it out, so dessert has a fighting chance around here. So far I’m still outnumbered when it comes to dessert, something that they will repeatedly remind me is not a meal. But I’ll take breakfast as the most popular since I’m just as happy eating eggs for dinner as I am for breakfast.
But this breakfast vegetable hash didn’t make the cut with my family. I think it was Dinosaur kale—so as it often happens—I ended up eating this by myself.
A dish that I found on Pinterest, but when I clicked through there was no recipe, so I winged it. Admittedly, there is not much to wing here since it’s a bunch of veggies sauteed in bacon fat and made flavorful with just a little parmesan cheese and a lot of leeks. To finish I topped it with a fried egg for breakfast, a simple toasted sesame seed sprinkling for lunch and folded in quinoa and toasted almonds for dinner. See how one simple thing can turn into three meals, so yay me for finishing a day’s worth of cooking in just a few minutes. As for the rest of the family, they ended up cooking three meals that day. See where I’m going with this . . . I got out of cooking duties for the day.
Breakfast Vegetable Hash
Ingredients
- 6 pieces of bacon
- 1 bunch Dinosaur Kale, blanched
- 1 radicchio (about 1 cup)
- 10-12 Brussels sprouts (about 1 cup)
- 1 leek, (about 1 cup) thinly sliced white and light green parts only
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
Cook bacon in large pan. Remove cooked bacon and drain pan of all but 1 tablespoon of rendered bacon fat. Stir in blanched kale and cook over medium heat until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer kale to a plate and set aside. Add in two tablespoons rendered bacon fat, stir in radicchio and Brussels sprouts and cook until whites are translucent and lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in leeks, cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Sprinkle and stir in parmesan cheese and salt.
Amazing! This would definitely make the cut with me so… errr… I’ll eat what your family doesn’t want!
Ha! I love that you used healthy food as your ticket out of cooking for the day, hilarious! This looks delicious, Naomi, and I would have happily shared it with you for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and then looked forward to whatever you created for dessert (which I consider a meal too)!
I LOVE a good breakfast hash!! Always easy to make and a great go-to!
Breakfast is a big deal in our house too, and I actually eat eggs for dinner quite regularly, so this is totally my jam! And I LOVE the new site! It’s gorgeous! Pinned!

First off I just want to say that I absolutely LOVE the new blog design. For awhile I wasn’t able to visit your blog because everything was super slow and it was so hard for me to just scroll down! I love that I can now navigate my favorite blog with ease! Love the rustic photos!
Bacon fat, veggies, hash, breakfast – this has my name written all over it. If the kids don’t want it – I’ll come over and share it with you!
I, for one, LOVE the looks of this dish- right up my alley, especially with the fried egg involved. And the photos – stunning! I’m insanely jealous of all your props.
don’t think I could eat this as a breakfast!! but looks delicious 😀
Well hello new site design! I’m totally in love with the whole thing. Nicely done!
Now, this hash. This is just the kind of breakfast I love to eat on a lazy vacation morning, which I hope to have quite a few of this summer. Beautifully done!
This looks delicious! I love a good healthy hearty breakfast.
