Bubble and Squeak with Fried Egg

Leftover mashed potato does the heavy lifting here, with cabbage rounding it out. An American breakfast that takes 20 minutes, start to finish. Each serving lands at 440 calories with 14g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Leftover mashed potato
• 1.5 cups Cabbage
• 1 Egg
• 1 tbsp Butter
• 1/2 Onion
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Steps

1. Shred the cabbage thin and dice the onion; leftovers from a roast dinner are traditional here.
2. Soften the onion and cabbage in butter over medium heat 6 minutes until wilted and sweet.
3. Fold in the mashed potato and mustard; season well and press into a flat cake.
4. Cook undisturbed 5 minutes until the bottom is deeply browned and crisp; it should release easily when ready.
5. Flip in sections or slide onto a plate and invert back; crisp the second side 4 minutes.
6. Fry the egg sunny-side up in the same pan.
7. Crown the cake with the egg and serve hot with extra mustard.
