There’s no better way to start your day than with a tasty plate of hash and fried eggs. This keto-friendly cabbage and pesto hash dish uses cabbage and tasty halloumi cheese to replace the traditional potatoes that most hash recipes call for. The cabbage turns into a lovely sweet and silky texture when fried, and goes together wonderfully with the salty fried halloumi cheese.

This recipe is super simple to make. Simply chop up the cabbage and fry it up in a pan with the avocado oil and seasoning. While that’s cooking, chop up the halloumi into bite-sized pieces before frying them up in a separate pan. Once both of these ingredients are cooked, combine them into one pan and then stir through the pesto. While you’re finishing off the hash, place a couple of eggs into a pan and fry them up until cooked. Once everything is ready, place the components onto a plate and serve piping hot.

This cheesy cabbage and pesto hash is the perfect dish to make for breakfast or a weekend brunch. You can whip it up in a few minutes and increase the quantities of the ingredients if you have more mouths to feed. Next time you want to make a scrumptious hot breakfast, give this dish a go!
