Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 kg potatoes
- 250 g bacon
- 100 g cheese (preferably one that melts well)
- 3 green onions
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt, to taste
- 50 ml olive oil
- 50 g butter
- Eggs (1 egg for each serving)
Step-by-step preparation:
1. Preparing the potatoes:
Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into cubes of about 1.5 cm. This will ensure even cooking. Place them in a pot of salted water and let them boil. Once they are cooked to about 80% (approximately 10-12 minutes), drain them.
2. Preparing the ingredients:
While the potatoes are boiling, finely chop the green onions and prepare the thyme. Meanwhile, grease a baking dish with butter to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
3. Mixing the ingredients:
In a large bowl, mix the drained potatoes with olive oil, chopped green onions, and thyme. Season well with salt, ensuring each potato piece is flavorful.
4. Arranging in the baking dish:
Place the potato mixture in the baking dish, pressing it down slightly. You can use a piece of parchment paper to smooth the surface. This step is important for achieving an even texture when baking.
5. Baking the potatoes:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the dish with potatoes in the oven and let it bake for 15-20 minutes, until they become golden and crispy on the surface.
6. Adding the bacon and cheese:
In the meantime, chop the bacon into small cubes and grate the cheese. After 15 minutes of baking, remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the bacon and cheese on top of the potatoes, then return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
7. Adding the eggs:
Finally, make a few indentations in your dish and crack the eggs into these spots. Put everything back in the oven for another 5-7 minutes, until the whites are well cooked, but the yolk remains soft, just the way you like it.
Practical tip:
You can also use other types of cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar, depending on your preferences, to add a personal touch to the recipe. Additionally, if you want to impress your guests, you can add a few slices of tomatoes or bell peppers for extra color and flavor.
Nutritional benefits:
Potatoes are an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, providing energy throughout the day. Bacon, although high in fat, brings an intense flavor, and eggs are a source of high-quality protein, containing essential vitamins.
Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use sweet potatoes?
Yes, sweet potatoes bring a different taste and a hint of sweetness to the dish.
- What can I do with the leftovers?
You can turn the leftovers into a delicious omelet by adding eggs and mixing everything.
Serving:
This dish is perfect for a weekend meal or for brunch with friends. Serve it warm, alongside a fresh salad or a slice of toasted bread. A glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or lemonade will perfectly complement the meal.
