Ingredients
Scale
Hash Browns and Eggs
- 2 cups frozen hash browns
- 4 large eggs
- Cooking oil or butter for frying
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced onions
Cheese and Seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add your preferred cooking oil or butter to prepare for cooking the hash browns.
- Cook the hash browns: Add the frozen hash browns to the heated skillet, spreading them evenly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown and develop a crispy texture.
- Sauté the vegetables: In a separate pan, cook the diced bell peppers and onions over medium heat until they become soft and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
- Create wells and add eggs: Return to the skillet with the hash browns and gently make small wells or pockets in the crispy layer. Crack one egg into each well carefully.
- Cook the eggs: Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the eggs to cook until the whites are set and yolks reach your desired level of doneness, typically 3-5 minutes.
- Add vegetables and cheese: Once the eggs are cooked, evenly distribute the sautéed bell peppers and onions on top, followed by the shredded cheese to melt over the warm hash browns and eggs.
- Season and serve: Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste, then serve the bowls hot for a satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- You can customize the cheese type to suit your preference, such as mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavors.
- For extra protein, consider adding cooked bacon or sausage.
- To make the recipe vegetarian friendly, omit meat and use vegetable oil.
- Covering the skillet helps steam and cook the eggs evenly without flipping.
- Use fresh diced vegetables if available for more vibrant taste.
