Need a fresh idea for brunch this weekend? This Copycat EggSlut concoction will do the trick. Creamy mashed potatoes topped with a poached egg, mixed all together then slathered on toasted bread.
Last month I went to Las Vegas for a work conference. You know I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to head in a couple of days early to try all the food Las Vegas has to offer. I went on Instagram and looked for the best places on the strip to try. The photos from Egg Slut in the Cosmopolitan Hotel kept catching my attention. I love me a good breakfast sandwich. Everything about their sandwich looked amazing so it was on my list.
Then I saw reviews saying to get the EggSlut. Not really ever having tried a poached egg before, I was a little reluctant to try it. Reluctant but intrigued. So off I went to try it only to find the line so long I turned right back around and out the door.
My second attempt I left plenty of time to wait in line – which only ended up being a 20 minute wait. I ordered both the breakfast sandwich and the EggSlut thinking I would take a bite of the EggSlut and happily eat my sandwich. When I went to pick up my order, the chef implored me to mix the yolk and potatoes together. After the picture taking I settled in to eat my breakfast. After a couple of bites of sandwich I went for the EggSlut and proceeded to eat the whole thing.
Oh em gee that combination was amazing. I’ve had it two weekends since I’ve been back and I can’t wait to make it again. Give it a try. And this recipe is more of a tutorial because people have their own opinions on how they like their mashed potatoes. I normally like mine chunky but for this, it needs to be smooth but not too, too pureed. These 8 oz mason jars are the perfect size to use to make this Copycat Egg Slut because you know everything is better in a mason jar.
