Ingredients

Scale

Hash Browns

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

Eggs

  • 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

  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 ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
  2. Cook Sausage: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Crumble in the 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 and set aside.
  3. Scramble Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper until combined. Pour into the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring gently until softly scrambled. Remove from heat.
  4. Assemble Bowls: Divide the crispy 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.
  5. Serve: Serve the breakfast bowls immediately, garnished with extra toppings of choice.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, make sure hash browns are spread in a single layer and avoid stirring too much while cooking.
  • You can substitute turkey sausage or plant-based sausage to vary flavors or accommodate dietary preferences.
  • Adjust the salsa spiciness according to your taste to make it mild or spicy.
  • Fresh cilantro is optional but adds a fresh, herbaceous note.
  • These bowls can be assembled ahead but are best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture.
