Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic
6 small red potatoes
1/2 pound smoked link sausage (1 link)
1/2 pound smoked ham
2 cups beef bouillon
1/2 teaspoon red pepper
1 tablespoon thyme
4 eggs
4 slices of ciabatta bread
Preparation
Heat oil in large skillet on medium-low heat. Peel and chop the garlic and add to the pan. Sauté about 2 minutes. Chop the potatoes into quarters and add to the garlic. Turn up the heat to medium and cook the potatoes and garlic for about 5 minutes.
Chop the sausage and ham and add to skillet. Cook another 5 minutes. Pour in the boullion and season with red pepper and thyme. Allow the broth mixture to simmer about 5 minutes. Carefully crack the eggs into the broth mixture and cover. The eggs will poach in the liquid in about 3 to 4 minutes.
