BRUNCH

Method

BRUNCH

  1. 1

    Roast potatoes

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 2 cups diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast on a lined sheet for 20-25 minutes until tender and golden, flipping halfway.

  2. 2

    Cook Italian sausage (optional)

    If choosing Italian sausage, grill or pan-sear 1 link over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally.

  3. 3

    Cook bacon (optional)

    If choosing bacon, cook 4 slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

  4. 4

    Cook mushrooms (optional)

    If choosing mushrooms, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add 8 oz sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release moisture and turn golden, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Cook eggs to order

    In a nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Crack 2 eggs into the pan and cook to your liking (sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled). Season with a light pinch of salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Prepare arugula salad

    In a bowl, toss 2 cups arugula with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Assemble plate and serve

    On a warm plate, place a portion of potatoes, top with your chosen protein (sausage, bacon, or mushrooms), add the eggs, and nestle the arugula salad on the side. Serve immediately.
