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
Sausage and 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. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook undisturbed for 5 to 7 minutes, until golden-brown and crisp. Flip and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- Cook the Sausage: Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add breakfast sausage and cook, breaking up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove sausage from skillet and keep warm.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully blended. Pour egg mixture into skillet and gently cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until softly scrambled. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide hash browns between four bowls. Top each with scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, salsa, diced avocado, green onions, and chopped cilantro if desired.
- Serve: Serve the assembled bowls at once, garnished to preference for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For crispier hash browns, do not stir while cooking and allow to get golden before flipping.
- You can substitute breakfast sausage with turkey sausage or plant-based sausage alternatives.
- Use mild or spicy salsa to adjust heat according to preference.
- Cilantro is optional and can be omitted if you do not enjoy its flavor.
- To make the dish gluten free, ensure the sausage and salsa you use are labeled gluten free.
