There’s something magical about Sunday mornings—the slower pace, the anticipation of a hearty breakfast, and the joy of gathering with loved ones.
It is the only day of the week my fiance and I both have off.
So I like to cook for us on Sunday mornings.
For me, this Chili-Infused Egg, Mushroom, and Spinach Hash has become a family favourite.
It’s hearty, flavorful, and just spicy enough to wake everyone up without being overpowering.
Plus, it’s a one-skillet dish, which means less cleanup and more time to enjoy with family.
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 8 large eggs
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2–3 tbsp chili oil (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup grated cheese (cheddar or Parmesan)
Instructions
1. Crisp Up the Potatoes
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp chili oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics
- In the same skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter and add another tbsp of chili oil.
- Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
3. Cook the Mushrooms and Spinach
- Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 5–6 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown.
- Toss in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes.
4. Combine and Season
- Return the crispy potatoes to the skillet and mix them with the vegetables.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cook the Eggs
- Use a spoon to create four wells in the hash mixture. Crack two eggs into each well.
- Cover the skillet and cook for 5–6 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny. For firmer yolks, cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
6. Add the Chili Oil Kick
- When the eggs are nearly set, drizzle the remaining chili oil over the entire dish.
- If using cheese, sprinkle it over the hash during the last minute of cooking.
7. Serve and Enjoy
- Divide the hash into four portions and serve hot.
- For extra spice lovers, serve with additional chili oil on the side.

A Family Favorite for Lazy Sundays
One morning, in an attempt to spice things up (literally), I added chili oil to our usual breakfast hash.
My family loved the extra kick, and it became an instant favourite. Now, it’s the dish my fiancé requests whenever we host a Sunday brunch. He says it reminds him of the warmth and love that Sunday mornings bring.
What I love most about this recipe is how adaptable it is.
Some Sundays, I add a handful of chopped bell peppers or sprinkle in smoked paprika. Other times, I swap the cheese for crumbled feta or goat cheese.
No matter how you tweak it, the base remains comforting and delicious.
Why This Recipe is Perfect for Families
This hash is a dish that invites togetherness. The prep is simple enough for kids to join in, and the customizable spice level makes it a crowd-pleaser for all ages.
Serve it with warm bread or fresh fruit, and you’ve got a complete, balanced meal that’s as satisfying as the conversations around the table.
So, this Sunday, gather your family, crank up your favourite breakfast playlist, and cook up a skillet of Chili-Infused Egg, Mushroom, and Spinach Hash.
It’s more than a meal; it’s a way to create memories and start the day with a little heat and a lot of love. ❤️
