It is time for the colors to shine through! As Easter harkens, the time for vibrance and new life! Let us celebrate our freedom from the shackling Winter coats with lighter fare and richer eggs from happier hens! ;-) All recipes in this post are proportioned for two but are aligned for larger parties just as well. Simply, extrapolate the ingredients by appetite.

Roast vegetable hash and a fried egg sound very simple and it really is a humble dish that masks its delicious guile rather well. As Spring breaks around us, it still makes for a delightful brunch dish and can be made for both cozy mornings or a full blown party. This hash is spiced with Israeli couscous and Lebanese aleppo pepper. Please don't mind my amateur attempts at world peace! :D

Sautéed creamy chanterelles on a rye toast with cottage cheese spread and topped with a fried egg. A fine lunch indeed!
