Roasted Veggie Hash with Eggs
by Eva Marie | April 12, 2020 | BREAKFAST, EGGS, Hearty Breakfasts | 0 Comments
Conserving and using what we have is key in cooking now. When grocery shopping, which we are keeping to the absolute minimum, we look for food that has a longer shelf life. White and yellow potatoes, sweet potatoes and onions are very versatile and keep for a long time, as do eggs. We had some Brussels sprouts on hand that needed to be used so I made a roasted hash and topped it with scrambled eggs for me and fried eggs for my husband.
