Ingredients
  

Hash Brown Base

  • 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed Ensure they are well-thawed for better cooking.
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 0.25 cup whole milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

  • 7 ounces breakfast sausage, casings removed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup salsa (mild or spicy) Customize to preference.
  • 1 whole avocado, diced
  • 2 whole green onions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

Cooking the Hash Browns

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the thawed hash browns in an even layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.

Cooking the Sausage

  • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
  • Crumble in the breakfast sausage. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, approximately 6-8 minutes.
  • Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Making Scrambled Eggs

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 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.

Assembly and Serving

  • Divide the prepared hash browns evenly among four serving bowls.
  • Top each bowl with a portion of the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, diced avocado, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro, if using.
  • Serve the breakfast bowls immediately, garnished as desired.

Notes

For crispier hash browns, do not stir them while cooking. Customize with other toppings like jalapeños, bell peppers, or other types of cheese. Consider using turkey sausage for a lighter option.
