Ingredients

Scale

Hash Browns

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

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Sausage and Toppings

  • 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. Add 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 on the bottom. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the other side is crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside to 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 throughout, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Scramble Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, ¼ cup whole milk, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring gently and consistently until eggs are softly scrambled but still moist. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
  4. Assemble Bowls: Evenly divide the crispy hash browns among four serving bowls. Top each with a portion of 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 while warm, garnished with additional green onions or cilantro if desired for extra freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, make sure hash browns are thawed and pat dry before cooking to remove excess moisture.
  • You can substitute turkey sausage or plant-based sausage for a lighter or vegetarian option.
  • Adjust the type of salsa based on your heat preference, mild for less spice or spicy for a kick.
  • Cook eggs gently and remove from heat promptly to avoid rubbery texture.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled to serve more people.
