Ingredients
Scale
Hash Browns
- 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Eggs
- 6 large eggs
- 60 millilitres whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Other Toppings
- 200 grams breakfast sausage, casings removed
- 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 120 millilitres salsa, mild or spicy
- 1 avocado, diced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Hash Browns: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add thawed hash browns in an even layer, then season with salt and black pepper. Cook undisturbed for 5 to 7 minutes until the bottoms are golden-brown and crisp. Flip carefully and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes to crisp the other side. Transfer hash browns to a plate and keep warm.
- Cook the Sausage: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Continue cooking until sausage is browned and fully cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove sausage from skillet and keep warm.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until fully blended. Pour this egg mixture into the same skillet and cook gently over medium heat, stirring frequently to create soft scrambled eggs. Once cooked through but still moist, remove from heat.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the crispy hash browns evenly among four bowls. Top each with a portion of scrambled eggs and cooked sausage. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, then add salsa, diced avocado, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro if desired.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the assembled breakfast bowls right away while warm, allowing each eater to enjoy the combination of textures and flavors at their best.
Notes
- Thawing the hash browns before cooking is key to achieving a crispy texture.
- You can substitute breakfast sausage with turkey sausage or vegetarian sausage if preferred.
- Adjust the salsa heat level to your taste, from mild to spicy.
- To make it dairy-free, omit the cheese or use a plant-based cheese alternative.
- For extra flavor, consider adding diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the sausage while cooking.
