Sunday Brunch: Crispy Leftover Stuffing Hash with Sunny-side Up Eggs
One of my favorite things to do with our leftover cornbread and sausage stuffing (I freely admit I doctor Pepperidge Farm cornbread stuffing rather than make stuffing from scratch) is to crisp it in a fry pan and top it with a sunnyside up egg. It's quick, it's easy, and soo good. If you've never tried this no-fail Thanksgiving leftover trick, you're in for a treat. The recipe, such as it is, follows, but let's face it. No recipe is necessary for this dish. Feel free to substitute poached eggs if you're looking to lower the fat content in the dish.
Crispy Leftover Stuffing Hash with Sunnyside Up Eggs
- serves 2 -
Ingredients
2 cups leftover stuffing
2 tablespoons lightly salted or sweet butter
two eggs
salt and pepper to taste
Procedure
1. Form a half-inch thick pancake about 6 inches in diameter with your leftover stuffing.
2. Melt the butter in a saute pan. Place the stuffing pancake into the pan.
3. Cook at low heat for about five minutes, until it is lovely golden brown.
4. Turn the stuffing pancake over and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
5. Put the pancake on a serving plate in the oven.
6. Make your sunnyside up or poached eggs. Top the pancake hash with the eggs.
Enjoy! It's so good.

My husband will be in heaven when I serve him this. He's a stuffing kind of guy and he'll appreciate the runny yolk gravy.

this is such a delicious thing to do with "leftover" stuffing it's worthwhile to make extra stuffing so that you're sure to have enough leftover to make it ~ if you make meatless stuffing you just brown up some sausage or bacon 1st then add the stuffing ~ also it's not necessary to make the eggs separately ~ after fliiping the pancake & letting it brown a bit on the 2nd side, you can slip the eggs directly on top of the pancake ~ then cover & cook until they've set-up.

OMG, what a great idea. I'd add a few slivers of roasted red peppers and then the fried egg. I know what I'm eating Friday morning!

Ahhh...I just mads this today with the very last of the doctored Pepperidge Farm stuffing (sausage, onion, celery, sage, and extra egg as a binder...didn't the bag used to list beaten egg as an ingredient? it doesn't anymore...weird. Makes a big difference.)
Anyway, ohhh the richness. The runny yolky bready meaty mess of it all.
It's too good to only have after Thanksgiving.
We're going to be eating stuffing a lot more often just so I can enjoy this breakfast!
