Ham hash is made in just 30 minutes for an easy breakfast anytime! With just a few different ingredients, you can transform this recipe three ways, into an Italian, Mexican or Greek hash.
Ham hash is something my Dad used to make me for breakfast growing up. Diced potatoes, onions and ham, with a little cheese sprinkled on top at the end. It was simple and my absolute favorite as a kid! As an adult, I partnered up with my friends at Smithfield, to kick up my ham hash a bit, adding a few different ingredients to make three different varieties.
First up is the Italian Ham Hash which features basil pesto, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. It’s like taking your favorite pasta dish and making it into your new favorite breakfast potato dish!
Next up is the Mexican Ham Hash featuring jalapenos, a dash of chili powder, pepper jack cheese and fresh avocado. This one is a personal favorite as I love the Mexican flavors and I can never say no to a breakfast topped with avocado!
Finally, the Greek Ham Hash featuring mushrooms, oregano, sun dried tomatoes and feta cheese. This dish will make you feel like you’re having breakfast in the Mediterranean! The creamy feta on top is my favorite addition to this easy ham hash recipe!
The best thing about all of these ham hash recipes is that they’re made in just 30 minutes! That means, no matter whether it’s a Monday morning at 7 AM or Saturday morning at 10 AM, you’ll have time to whip up these great recipes for your family!
Each of these Ham Hash recipes are made with Smithfield Anytime Favorites Cubed Ham. Grabbing a package of this ham at the store makes it easy to incorporate the legendary taste of Smithfield ham into your meals without having to prepare a full spiral ham!
I love that the Smithfield Anytime Favorites Cubed Ham is pre-sliced and easy to toss in each of these hash recipes for a boost of protein to start the day… or end the day. Breakfast for dinner? Yes, please!
