Instructions
Creating a Hash Brown Egg Sandwich is a straightforward process, perfect for both novice and seasoned cooks. Follow these steps to make your own:
Step 1: Prepare the Hash Browns
- Heat the Oil: In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Hash Browns: Add the hash browns to the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Drain and Keep Warm: Once cooked, remove the hash browns from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Keep them warm by covering them with foil.
Step 2: Scramble the Eggs
- Whisk the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Melt the Butter: In a clean non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow the eggs to set slightly before gently stirring them with a spatula to create soft curds.
- Remove from Heat: Once the eggs are fully cooked but still creamy, remove them from the heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches
- Layer the Ingredients: Place a slice of cheese on each hash brown, followed by a generous scoop of scrambled eggs.
- Top and Serve: Add another hash brown on top to form a sandwich. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions if desired.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the sandwiches immediately while the hash browns are still crispy and the cheese is melty.
