Gourmet Canadian Bacon & Apple Hash with Fried Duck Egg

Gourmet Canadian Bacon & Apple Hash with Fried Duck Egg

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Dice the bacon and cook in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until deeply crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving the bacon fat in the skillet. Applewood smoked bacon will add a deeper, smokier flavour.
  2. Dice the potatoes and onion. Add them to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat. Cook until the potatoes are tender and develop a golden-brown crust, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  3. While the potatoes are cooking, core and dice the apple. Add the diced apple and cooked bacon to the skillet. Stir in the maple syrup, thyme leaves, and a pinch of smoked paprika. Cook for another 5 minutes until the apples are slightly softened and the flavors have melded together.
  4. In a separate pan, gently fry the duck eggs in duck fat or olive oil. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Duck eggs add richness.
  5. Season the hash with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Spoon the hash onto plates and top each serving with a fried duck egg. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
