Description
Crispy hash browns topped with eggs, cheese, and veggies. A flavorful morning treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- ½ lb breakfast sausage, ground beef, or bacon
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 6 large eggs
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar, Colby Jack, or Monterey Jack cheese
- ½ cup diced bell peppers (red or green)
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- Avocado slices (optional)
- Sour cream (optional)
- Salsa (optional)
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a large oven-safe skillet. Squeeze out excess moisture from the thawed hash browns using a clean kitchen towel. Toss the hash browns with olive oil or melted butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Spread into an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the hash browns are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook breakfast sausage, ground beef, or bacon until fully cooked through. If using bacon, cook until crispy and then crumble. Drain excess grease and set aside.
- Using the same skillet, sauté diced bell peppers and onions for 2–3 minutes until softened but still slightly crisp. Season with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Remove the baked hash browns from the oven. Use the back of a spoon to create small wells in the potato layer. Crack one egg into each well. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the hash browns, followed by the cooked protein and sautéed vegetables.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake at 220°C (425°F) for 8–12 minutes, depending on egg doneness preference: 8 minutes for runny yolks, 10 minutes for jammy yolks, or 12 minutes for fully cooked yolks.
- Remove the pan from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions, avocado slices, sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
