There is a great easy recipe for Beet Hash with Eggs on Martha Stewart’s website. To make it more exotic, substitute regular eggs (chicken) for duck eggs.

Advantages of duck eggs vs regular eggs (chicken)?

  • More filling
  • Higher content of: Omega-3 fatty acids; Vitamins A, E, B1, B3, B6, B12, Folate; Iron; Zinc
  • Lower content of: Omega-6 fatty acids

Disadvantages of duck eggs vs regular eggs (chicken)?

  • Much higher in cholesterol and slightly higher content of saturated fat. So, consume moderately.

Where to get the duck eggs and the other ingredients?
Bearbrook Game Meats at the Lansdowne Farmers Market (Ottawa)

Any changes to the recipe found in the link above?
You can also exchange the chopped parsley for freshly chopped basil. In addition, I find that covering the pan with a lid while cooking the eggs gets the eggs to solidify faster (if you don’t want runny eggs) without burning the bottom of the vegetables or eggs.
