Double it! This recipe makes a decadent breakfast or brunch for two, and if you buy a 6-ounce can of crabmeat you'll have just the amount you need. For a time-saving shortcut, you can use a mix of chopped fresh onions, celery, and bell peppers from your supermarket’s produce section. Here, we’ve stirred chopped fresh parsley into the crab mixture but chopped chives would make a fine substitute. When you scale up ingredients, use a large skillet rather than a medium one to cook the hash. While this dish is pretty filling on its own, consider rounding out the meal with either a side of fresh fruit or a mixed greens salad tossed with a tangy vinaigrette.
