How it's cooked (8 steps)

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shredded Brussels sprouts in an even layer and let cook undisturbed until deeply browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes, then stir and continue cooking until crisp-tender with charred edges, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl.
  2. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes; cook until fragrant, about 45 seconds.
  4. Return the Brussels sprouts to the skillet along with the beans, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the broth is mostly absorbed and the beans are warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the lemon juice, and taste, adding more salt if needed. Cover to keep warm.
  6. Melt the butter in a separate nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Crack in the eggs and cook until the whites are fully set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes, covering the pan for the last minute if you prefer firmer whites.
  7. Divide the hash among four plates.
  8. Top each portion with a fried egg and finish with the Parmesan and parsley.
