Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 20 oz Hash Browns Choose thawed and drained for the crispiest base.
  • 2 tablespoon Unsalted Butter This adds rich flavor and promotes browning.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste for a perfect flavor boost.
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly ground enhances the overall taste.
For the Toppings
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese Melts beautifully; swap for mozzarella or pepper jack if desired.
  • 8 oz Breakfast Sausage or Bacon (Optional) Adds a meaty richness; substitute with a veggie option for a lighter choice.
  • 1 cup Diced Bell Pepper Provides crunch and color; mushrooms or spinach also work great.
  • ¼ cup Chopped Green Onions Gives a mild onion zing; replace with chives if you prefer.
  • 4 large Eggs Baked in the crust for a creamy, protein-packed delight.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika (Optional) A hint of spice elevates the egg’s flavor.
For Seasoning the Eggs
