I feel almost silly posting this recipe because it is almost not a recipe. However, it is sooo delicious and a really easy way to make a hot breakfast on a chilly day – even a weekday. All you need is frozen hash brown potatoes and fresh eggs. In minutes, you can make this super tasty Hash Brown Egg Scramble.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1 to 2 cups frozen hash browns
4 eggs
1/2 cup shredded cheese
Directions:
To serve 1 adult and 3 hungry preschoolers, I used about 1 to 2 cups of frozen hashbrowns sauteed in 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a large frying pan. Brown them on both sides. (About 8 minutes or so.) I add 4 eggs or the equivalent of 4 eggs in the form of egg whites or egg beaters. Scramble the eggs around the cooked hash browns, mixing them together well. Add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese and stir well. Remove from heat. I like to season mine with Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning but the kiddos prefer theirs plain or with a little Krazy Salt.
So delicious! So easy! Enjoy!
Thanks Erin for the inspiration! I am cooking the hash browns now, but much to my dismay all 3 kids grabbed some lunchables that I just brought back from the supermarket. I will be enjoying this meal with the hubby. BTW, how do you get your kids to eat so many different dishes?? It’s a daily battle to get Hannie to try any fruit or vegetable. It’s a battle of the wills.
Thanks, Whit! My kids have one rule about food… they have to try everything. However, if they try it and don’t like it, there usually isn’t a back-up plan so basically they’re stuck until the next meal. 🙂 Hunger works wonders getting kids to eat new foods!
