Cabbage hash is my current favorite go-to keto breakfast dish. It's basically stir-fried cabbage with a sauce or flavourings mixed in, any other add-ins, and then topped with a fried egg.

I’ve played around with other flavourings, such as chilli sauce, herbs and spices, or stirring through a can of tuna or salmon. The combo below is my current favourite — flavoured with pesto (I used jarred, but you could make your own) and chunks of salty fried halloumi. Yum!

Ingredients (makes 2 servings)

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin avocado oil, ghee or olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 large head savoy or green cabbage, hard stem removed (300 g/ 10.6 oz)
  • 150 g halloumi (5.3 oz)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp pesto (45 g/ 1.6 oz) - you can make your own pesto

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cabbage firstly by removing outer leaves and cutting out any thick inner pieces (especially if using Savoy cabbage). Slice the cabbage into ribbons.

  2. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large fry pan and add the cabbage. Cook over low-to-medium heat, stirring occasionally until the cabbage is soft, 4-5 minutes. Note green cabbage will take a few minutes longer to cook than Savoy. Optionally you can add a dash of water to cook the cabbage.

  3. Meanwhile, cut the halloumi into 1 1/2 cm (1/2 inch) cubes. In another pan add another tbsp of oil and add the halloumi. Cook over medium heat a minute or so until browned on each side.

  5. In the pan you cooked the halloumi in, add the final tbsp of oil, and when heated, crack the two eggs in and cook a few minutes until the whites are just set.
  6. To serve, divide the cabbage mix across two plates and add an egg on top of each. Dust with cracked pepper. Serve immediately.

Great recipe!! Honestly, it's like you read my mind. I have cabbage left over from a crack slaw recipe I made. And I made a jar of KetoDietApp mint pesto to eat with my zoodles in the weekend.
The crack slaw was a bit filling and I really wanted a lighter recipe with the leftover cabbage. I actually searched for keto coleslaw from KetoDietApp.
But this recipe is perfect👌👌 😍
Thank you so much.x
