Instructions

Prepare the Woodland Cream, and keep warm.
†
Preheat the oven to 200?F.
†
Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the potatoes and sautÈ, flipping and shaking the skillet, until the potatoes are golden brown, for about 4 minutes.
†
Add the duck meat, onions, carrots, bell peppers, garlic, parsley, Creole Seasoning, salt, and pepper and sautÈ, shaking the skillet and stirring, for 5 minutes. Make 4 cups.
†
Keep the hash warm by placing the skillet in the oven. Prepare the Perfect Poached Eggs.
†
To serve, mound 1 cup of the hash on each of 4 plates, place 1 Perfect Poached Egg on top, and nap with 1/2 cup of the woodland cream.
†
Yield: 4 brunch servings
†
Note:
Smoked Duck Meat: Can be purchased at specialty food stores and some meat counters.
†
Perfect Poached Eggs: Bring 3 cups of water to a boil with 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan over high heat. Crack an egg into a cup and slide the egg gently into the water. Crack another egg into the cup and when the water returns to a boil slide this egg into the water as well. When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the eggs are set. Watch carefully and remove the eggs when the yolks are still soft, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. (Test by lifting an egg slightly out of the water on a slotted spoon and gently pressing the center with your finger; the yolk should be soft and the white firm.) Drain on paper towels. Poached eggs can be made ahead and kept immersed in a bowl of water in the refrigerator. Reheat by immersing briefly in simmering water.
