How to Make Hash Brown Breakfast Bowls

Prepare the 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 salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 5 to 7 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Flip and continue cooking for another 4 to 5 minutes until fully crisp. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Cook the Sausage

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the halal breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and fully cooked, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Scramble the Eggs

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour into the skillet over medium heat. Cook gently, stirring often, until softly scrambled and just set. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Bowls

Divide the crispy hash browns evenly between four bowls. Top with scrambled eggs and sausage. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, then finish with salsa, diced avocado, green onions, and cilantro if using.

Serve

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy a hearty, flavor-packed breakfast.

Tips for the Best Breakfast Bowls

• Dry the hash browns well before cooking to get maximum crispiness.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan or the potatoes will steam instead of crisp.
• Cook eggs gently to keep them soft and fluffy.
• Add cheese while hot so it melts beautifully.
• Season in layers for the best overall flavor.

Variations

• Spicy breakfast bowl: Add jalapeños, hot sauce, or pepper jack cheese.
• Veggie-loaded: Add sautéed peppers, onions, mushrooms, or spinach.
• Southwest style: Use taco-seasoned halal beef, black beans, and corn.
• Low-carb option: Swap hash browns for roasted cauliflower or zucchini.
• Cheesy deluxe: Mix mozzarella and Monterey Jack with the cheddar.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through. For best texture, store avocado and fresh herbs separately and add after reheating.
