Description

These Crispy Hash Brown Breakfast Bowls offer a hearty and satisfying breakfast that’s easy to customize. Golden, crispy hash browns form the perfect base topped with sautéed vegetables, eggs cooked to your liking, melty cheese, and optional protein like beef sausage. Ideal for family breakfasts or brunch gatherings, this recipe balances texture and flavor with versatile ingredient options.


Ingredients

Base

  • 4 cups frozen hash browns
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup diced onions

Protein & Cheese

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack)
  • 1/4 cup cooked beef sausage crumbles (optional)

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Hash Browns: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen hash browns evenly on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the hash browns are crispy and golden brown.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: While the hash browns bake, heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced bell peppers and onions until soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Cook Eggs: In a separate skillet, cook the eggs to your preferred style. Fried sunny-side up eggs with runny yolks are recommended, but you can also scramble or poach them based on your taste.
  4. Assemble Breakfast Bowls: Divide the crispy hash browns evenly into four serving bowls. Layer the sautéed vegetables on top, then add the cooked eggs. Sprinkle shredded cheese over each bowl and add beef sausage crumbles if desired.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Finish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness. Serve immediately while everything is hot for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute beef sausage crumbles with sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
  • Enhance flavor by adding sliced avocado or a spoonful of salsa as toppings.
  • Use pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick instead of mild cheese blends.
  • Store leftover components separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat hash browns in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness, and warm toppings separately before assembling.
  • Fresh potatoes can be grated, squeezed dry, and baked if you prefer fresh over frozen hash browns.
  • Spread hash browns in a thin, even layer and avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve extra crispiness.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free when using certified gluten-free hash browns and ingredients.
  • To make it dairy-free, omit cheese or use a dairy-free substitute.
  • Adding hot sauce, jalapeños, or spicy cheese can make the dish spicy to your preference.
  • The recipe can be doubled easily; use two baking sheets to maintain crispiness.
