Ingredients

Scale

Hash Browns Base

  • 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Egg and Sausage Component

  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 7 ounces breakfast sausage, casings removed

Garnishes and Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup salsa (mild or spicy)
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Crispy Hash Browns: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spread thawed hash browns evenly in the skillet. Sprinkle salt and pepper over them. Cook without stirring for 5-7 minutes until the underside is golden and crispy. Flip the hash browns carefully and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until crispy on the other side. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
  2. Cook Sausage: Using the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Crumble the breakfast sausage into the pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally and breaking the meat apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Scramble Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the now-empty skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring gently and continuously, until softly scrambled and just set. Remove from heat.
  4. Assemble Bowls: Divide the crispy hash browns evenly among four serving bowls. Top each with a portion of scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, diced avocado, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro if using.
  5. Serve: Serve the breakfast bowls immediately while warm, garnished as desired for a colorful and filling breakfast.

Notes

  • Ensure hash browns are thawed for even cooking and maximum crispiness.
  • You can adjust the spice level by choosing mild or spicy salsa.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, verify sausage ingredients and use gluten-free salsa.
  • Fresh cilantro is optional but adds a bright flavor contrast.
  • Leftover bowls can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
