Hash Brown Breakfast Bowls (Printable Version)

Crispy hash browns topped with fluffy eggs, savory sausage, cheese, and fresh avocado for a hearty morning meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ 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

# Method:

01 - Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add thawed hash browns, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Divide the crispy hash browns evenly among four serving bowls.
02 - In the same skillet, add breakfast sausage and break apart with a spatula. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until browned and completely cooked through. Drain excess fat if needed and spoon the sausage over the hash browns in each bowl.
03 - Whisk together eggs, milk, and salt in a mixing bowl until well combined. Heat butter in a clean non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture and cook, gently stirring with a spatula, until just set and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon scrambled eggs into the bowls.
04 - Top each breakfast bowl evenly with shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and fresh avocado slices. Add hot sauce to taste if desired.
05 - Serve the hash brown breakfast bowls immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor experience.

# Chef's Tips:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one skillet so cleanup is practically nonexistent
  • You can customize the toppings based on whatever's languishing in your fridge
  • The combination of crispy, creamy, and savory hits every single craving
02 -
  • Dry your thawed hash browns thoroughly or they'll steam instead of crisp up
  • Don't overcook the eggs, they continue cooking from residual heat even after you remove them from the pan
  • Warm your bowls in the oven for a few minutes if you want everything to stay piping hot
03 -
  • Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre-shredded, it melts so much better
  • Add a splash of heavy cream to your eggs if you want them extra luxurious
  • Crisp up your hash browns in a cast iron skillet for the best texture
