Softly Poached Eggs on Crispy Sweet Potato Hash Browns, Asparagus with Horseradish Cream Sauce



Leave it to Donna Hay to come up with this delicious combination of flavors and textures. This one is another winner!










Crispy sweet potato hash browns are topped with crisp tender asparagus, a poached egg and finished with a tangy horseradish cream sauce.




It's a good one to remember for breakfast, or a light lunch or dinner.







Serve with toast and fruit for a smart and filling meal.



If you do not care for poached eggs, you could substitute fried or scrambled ~ but the poached eggs make such a nice contrast to the crispy sweet potato hash browns that I wouldn't change a thing.





If you try this I hope you'll like it and

Thanks for stopping by today and for any comments you would care to leave ~
I love hearing from you!

That looks so delicious! I think that it would be beautiful Christmas morning with all of those festive colours-just needs a bit or red...maybe a glass of pink champagne on the side!

Lovely photos too, as usual!

Best wishes always, Natasha.

I was so tired this evening that all I made for dinner was nachos... not exactly the epitome of a healthy dinner! I love poached eggs and wish now I would have checked out your blog before pulling out the tortilla chips! This looks delicious - I'm sure this will be an upcoming dinner very soon for me!! Thanks, M!

Mari,
I made the sweet potato hash browns for breakfast this morning with a twist. I sauted leftover mushrooms and shallots and added them to the mixture. They were to die for thanks.

Mari @ Once Upon a Plate said...

What a delicious twist that would be Kate! Thanks for sharing your idea and how you liked it. :)

Denise said...
