Ingredients
Scale
Hash Browns
- 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup whole milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Sausage
- 7 ounces breakfast sausage, casings removed
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
- Cook Hash Browns: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add thawed hash browns in an even layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
- Cook Sausage: Using the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Crumble the sausage into the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Scramble Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until softly scrambled. Remove from heat.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the cooked hash browns evenly among four bowls. Top each with scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, diced avocado, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro if using.
- Serve: Serve the breakfast bowls immediately for best flavor and texture, garnished with additional toppings if desired.
