time icon

Prep: 15 min | Cook: 15 - 20 min | Serves: 1 - 2

Ingredients

  • 1 bag Cavendish Farms All-Day Breakfast Original Hash Brown Patties
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp store-bought pesto
  • Red pepper flakes (for garnish)

Directions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
  2. Spread Hash Brown Patties in the air fryer basket and cook according to packaging instructions.
  3. Prep the spinach: heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté shallots for 1–2 minutes, then add spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and remove from heat.
  4. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer and add vinegar. Crack each egg into a separate ramekin. Stir the water to create a gentle whirlpool, then carefully slide one egg into the center. Poach for 3 – 4 minutes, or until the white is set and the yolk remains runny. Remove with a slotted spoon. Repeat for the second egg.
  5. To assemble, place cooked Hash Brown Patties on plates. Top with sautéed spinach and a poached egg.
  6. Drizzle each egg with a generous serving of pesto and garnish with red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
