What do you do when you have leftover corned beef? The answer is simple–make Corned Beef Hash. I confess that we usually get our corned beef hash from a can, but it’s very easy to prepare from scratch, and it uses up St. Patrick’s Day leftovers. Once you try the homemade version, you may never go back to eating the canned stuff.
Once the hash is assembled, you will need to create four indentations (wells) in the hash in the pan. Place a raw egg into each well. If all of the broth (or water) has been absorbed, you may need to add up to 1/4 cup more liquid. Cover the pan, and allow the eggs to steam in the wells over a low to medium heat.You may have noticed that there are only three eggs in the photos. There’s a very good reason. There were only three people home when I prepared this. I could easily have included one (or possibly two) more eggs in the pan.
Once they are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, plate each egg surrounded by the hash in which it cooked.
We like to serve corned beef hash and eggs with ketchup and toast, but it’s delicious just by itself.
