Crispy hash browns topped with fluffy eggs, savory sausage, cheese, and fresh toppings for a satisfying morning meal.
# Ingredient List:
→ Hash Browns
01 - 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
02 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ Eggs
05 - 6 large eggs
06 - 1/4 cup whole milk
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
08 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
→ Sausage
09 - 8 oz breakfast sausage (pork or chicken), casings removed
→ Toppings
10 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
11 - 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
12 - 1/4 cup sliced green onions
13 - 1 avocado, sliced
14 - Hot sauce, for serving (optional)
# How to Make:
01 - Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thawed hash browns, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 12–15 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden and crispy. Divide among four serving bowls.
02 - In the same skillet, add the breakfast sausage. Break it up with a spatula and cook for 5–7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if necessary. Spoon the sausage over the hash browns.
03 - Whisk the eggs, milk, and salt together in a bowl. Heat the butter in a clean non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook, gently stirring, until just set and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes. Spoon the scrambled eggs into the bowls.
04 - Top each bowl with shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, green onions, and avocado slices. Add hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Everything bakes together in one bowl so cleanup is practically nonexistent
- The crispy edges on the hash browns against fluffy eggs create perfect texture in every spoonful
02 -
- Never crowd the pan when cooking hash browns or they will steam instead of crisp
- Remove scrambled eggs from heat while they still look slightly underdone since they continue cooking in the bowl
03 -
- Thaw hash browns on paper towels overnight to remove as much moisture as possible
- Grate your own cheese for better melting and flavor
