Breakfast lasagne

INGREDIENTS

500g hash browns

4 high quality pork sausages, squeezed from their skins

2 tbsp olive oil

1 x 400g tins of baked beans

1 tbsp brown sauce

1 tbsp tomato ketchup

25g butter

500g chestnut mushrooms, roughly chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

150g sliced mozzarella

150g sliced cheddar

250g streaky bacon

4 eggs

METHOD

Pre-heat oven to 210 C / 190 C fan.

Cook the hash browns according to the packet instructions and set aside.

Fry the sausage meat in 1 tbsp olive oil until golden – using the back of a fork or a wooden spoon to break up any big clumps. Add the beans and the brown sauce and ketchup and stir to combine then take off the heat and allow to cool slightly.

In a separate pan, set over a medium high heat, add 1 tbsp oil and the mushrooms and cook until golden, then add the butter, and stir to coat the mushrooms. Season well, remove from the heat and set aside.

Assemble the lasagne: Begin by putting a thin layer of sausage and bean mixture on the bottom of a 20 x 33 lasagne dish. Follow with a layer of hash browns, fitting them in as best as you can. Add a layer of cheese and top with the mushrooms. Lay a second layer of hashbrowns on top of the mushrooms and top with more cheese. Finally, lay the bacon on top of everything.

Bake in the pre-heated oven for 25 – 30 minutes or until the bacon is crisp

Remove the lasagne from the oven and using a glass, make 4 indents in the top of the lasagne. Crack an egg into each indent. Season with salt and pepper and place back into the oven for a further 10 minutes to cook the egg.

Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before slicing into 6 and serving.
