Cold-loving Brussels sprouts are a nutritional treasure trove. Namely, a mere cup of the kid favorite (we’re jokers!) supplies more than a day’s requirement for vitamin C and vitamin K. The shredding blade of a food processor can make quick work of whole sprouts for hashes and slaws.
Brussels Sprout Egg Hash
Makes 4 servings.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1/4 c panko bread crumbs
- 3 c Brussels sprouts
- 2 shallots
- 2 garlic cloves
- 4 c baby spinach
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 4 eggs
- Walnuts (for topping)
- Soft goat cheese (for topping)
Preparation
Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bread crumbs and heat until toasted. Remove bread crumbs and heat another tablespoon butter in pan.
