Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced in ¼” slices
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 red onion, cut pole to pole, and very thinly sliced (about ½ cup)
  • 4 Quorn Sausage Patties, defrosted and crumbled
  • 4-6 eggs, depending on size
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Paprika
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325° F.
  2. Peel and slice the potatoes and put them in a bowl of ice cold water. When you’re done, rinse the sliced potatoes and put them in a medium pot filled with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil, cover and cook for about 6 minutes. Let the potato slices cool in the water for at least 5 minutes before draining. Please don’t throw away the potato water – either save it as a base for making delicious potato peel broth or at least put it on your compost pile along with your potato peelings.)
  3. Heat a medium 9” or 10” cast iron skillet over medium heat. Please make sure the handle is oven proof. When the skillet is hot, add the olive oil and sauté the onion for about 5-6 minutes over low heat. Add the crumbled Quorn Sausage Patties, and cook for another 3 minutes. This can all be done while the potatoes are cooking and then cooling. Let the onion and meat mixture cool for a few minutes.
  4. Crack the eggs into a large bowl and add the salt and pepper. When the onion and meat mixture has cooled a bit, add it to the eggs.
  5. Return the empty skillet to the burner with a bit more olive oil, and turn up the heat. Make sure that the hot oil thoroughly coats the bottom and sides of the skillet. Turn off the heat. Layer the drained potato slices, salt and pepper them thoroughly, and then pour the egg, onion and sausage mixture on top. Sprinkle with paprika, and pop in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until it is puffed and golden brown. Test to make sure that the eggs are thoroughly cooked and then cut into wedges and serve.
