Ingredients

Scale

Hash Browns and Eggs

  • 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Bacon Gravy

  • 6 slices of bacon
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook Hash Browns: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the frozen shredded hash browns and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  2. Fry Bacon: In another pan, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until they are crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels, reserving 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the pan.
  3. Make Bacon Gravy: Using the reserved bacon grease in the pan, whisk in the all-purpose flour over medium heat until the mixture is well combined and starts to bubble. Gradually add the whole milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook until the gravy thickens, then season with black pepper to taste.
  4. Fry Eggs: In a nonstick skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side-up, cooking until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
  5. Assemble the Dish: On each plate, layer a portion of the crispy hash browns. Drizzle generous amounts of the warm bacon gravy over the hash browns, then top each serving with a sunny-side-up egg. Serve immediately for the best experience.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, make sure the hash browns are spread in a single layer without overcrowding the pan.
  • You can substitute whole milk with a milk alternative if desired, but whole milk provides a richer gravy.
  • Adjust black pepper seasoning in the gravy to your taste preference.
  • To make the eggs less runny, cook them a bit longer or flip gently for over-easy style.
  • This dish pairs well with a side of fresh fruit or sautéed vegetables for a balanced meal.
