Farmers’ Breakfast by Zemnieku Brokastis

 

 

I found a great recipe this morning while looking for something new to try. I usually don't eat "farmer's breakfast" because they are high calorie but once in awhile I do let myself enjoy a good breakfast!  You could also lower the calories by making a few small changes. Like using a low fat chicken sausage instead of pork, switching the butter or olive oil and using a low or non-fat milk! Either way you decide to make it, enjoy!

Recipe type: Breakfast

Cuisine: Latvian

Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 250 grams potatoes
• 180 grams smoked sausage, 3mm thick sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 eggs
• ½ cup milk
• 3 tablespoons dill
• ground pepper, salt if needed

Instructions

1. Preheat oven 180 deg C ( 360 deg F).
2. Peel and slice your potatoes into 1cm thick slices. Place in pot of cold salted water, bring to the boil and cook for 3-5 minutes. You are par-boiling your potatoes (blanching), not cooking them right through. Strain your potatoes in a colander and set aside.
3. In a non stick pan fry the smoked sausage until fats are released and browned. Remove sausage from pan, retain released fat. Add butter to the oils in the pan, add potatoes and fry until they start to crisp and colour.
4. Remove potatoes from the heat and arrange potato slices and sausage in individual oven proof dishes.
5. In a medium bowl beat eggs, milk and dill, then season with salt and pepper. Check how salty your sausage is, you may not need to add salt. Pour egg and milk mixture evenly over potatoes and sausage.
6. Place dishes in the oven and cook for 25 minutes.
7. Serve with crusty bread.
