Breakfast for Dinner anyone :)

Another one of Tammy's messes ...
OH MY GOSH ... do I love breakfast for dinner and so do Chris and the kids ... win, win for all of us.  Tonight with the weather looking a little questionable and the prospect of the next few days being breezy, rainy and in the 60's, breakfast for dinner sounded so good.  Plus, since I have been a little tiny girl, I have loved breakfast ... its happy food ... comfort food ... energy food and I am a firm believer that we should all have breakfast to maintain great health.  And let's admit  the fact that I have been under a great deal of stress lately and its catching up with me, so I was in desperate need of comfort in a big way ... ta da ... I found my comfort. 

I whipped up a quick batch of silver dollar pancakes for the kids, a side of bacon and some very pretty over-easy eggs.  Here's the catch....I'm not much of a pancake lover ... never really been my thing, so I decided to whip up a really tasty "hash" out of things from the refrigerator.  It was so, so tasty and I thought I must share because y'all might like it.

It was one of those throw in this ... add that ... a little bit of this and finally throw on some cheese and a couple of eggs ... there it was ... yum!  Now remember ... it wasn't pretty, but sometimes the best tasting things come in an interesting little mess :)

And now I will share my tasty little creation with you. 

Tammy's Fried Green Tomato, Mushroom and Bacon Potato Hash with Eggs
(long title but whatever)

Serves 2

1 small green tomato diced into bite size pieces
4 strips of bacon fried and crumbled
1/4 cup of chopped mushrooms
2 cups of shredded potatoes (hash brown style)
1/4 cup of shredded cheese of your choice but I chose jalepeno jack (of course)
butter for frying ( a couple of pats)
4 eggs

Fry your bacon and crumble.  Set aside.  Drain the pan and add the diced green tomato.  Fry this for about 3 to 5 minutes until it is tender and getting browned.  Now add the potatoes and mushrooms to the pan and a pat of butter and let this fry for about 5 minutes until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned.  Remove from the heat and sprinkle the cheese of the mixture. 

Fry your 4 eggs in butter or cooking oil or spray over easy or to your liking.  In the meantime, divide the potato mixture into two portions and put on plates.  Top with two eggs each.  And then dig in!
