Growing up in Czechia, I had a few favorite dishes that my mom used to make. One of them was Dabelske Tousty, which translates to Deviled Toasts. It's a flavorful mixture of vegetables and aromatics, including zucchini, onions, and garlic, cooked with spices and sausage or ground beef. Traditionally, it's used as a topping for toasts, or as the Czechs prefer, crispy fried sourdough.
In my low-carb version, I've skipped the toasts and instead, I serve the mixture topped with fried eggs.
Recipe Tips
- Harissa can be used to taste. Depending on your preference for spice, you can adjust the amount to suit your palate.
- While the eggs are best prepared fresh, the hash can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- For easy defrosting, it's best to portion out the hash before freezing.
- This recipe can be served the traditional way with keto breads. Try it with our 90-Second Keto Bread for a delicious low-carb meal.
- Mexican chorizo can be replaced with ground beef or pork. If needed, add some harissa for extra heat.

- Cover with a lid and reduce to medium-low. Cook for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring half way.
- While the zucchini is cooking, fry eggs to serve it with (2 per serving). Eggs are best prepared fresh so only make as many eggs as you plan to eat.
- Remove the lid and cook for 5 more minutes. Season to taste if needed. Optionally, add some chopped fresh parsley and stir in.
