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

Other Ingredients

  • 7 ounces breakfast sausage, casings removed
  • 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 the thawed hash browns in an even layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Flip the hash browns carefully and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the other side is also crispy. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
  2. Cook Sausage: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the crumbled breakfast sausage and cook over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Scramble Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour the mixture into the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring gently and continuously, until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set. Remove from heat.
  4. Assemble Bowls: Evenly divide the crispy hash browns among four serving bowls. Top each with scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, diced avocado, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro if desired.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the breakfast bowls right away while warm, garnished with extra cilantro or green onions if you like.

Notes

  • Thaw the frozen hash browns beforehand for best crispiness.
  • You can adjust the spice level of the salsa to your preference.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, substitute milk and cheese with nondairy options.
  • To make this recipe vegetarian, omit the sausage and add sautéed mushrooms or plant-based sausage.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or well-seasoned pan to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
