Ingredients

Units Scale

Hash Browns

  • 3 hash browns (frozen or fresh)

Eggs

  • 3 eggs, scrambled
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Avocado Layer

  • 1 avocado, smashed
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • Everything But The Bagel seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook Hash Browns: If using frozen hash browns, cook them according to the package instructions until they are golden brown and crispy. Set aside on a plate.
  2. Scramble Eggs: In a separate pan over medium heat, scramble the eggs until fully cooked. Season with salt and black pepper to your taste. Once done, set aside.
  3. Prepare Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the avocado using a fork until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper as preferred.
  4. Assemble Hash Browns: Place the cooked hash browns on a serving plate. Spread a layer of the smashed avocado evenly over each hash brown.
  5. Add Eggs: Divide the scrambled eggs evenly over the avocado layer on each hash brown.
  6. Top with Cottage Cheese: Spoon the cottage cheese over the scrambled eggs on each hash brown.
  7. Season and Serve: Sprinkle Everything But The Bagel seasoning on top if using. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your loaded hash browns.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, cook hash browns in a non-stick skillet with a little oil rather than baking them.
  • Feel free to add other toppings such as chopped tomatoes, chives, or shredded cheese for more flavor.
  • This recipe serves 2 but can easily be adjusted for more servings.
  • Use fresh eggs and ripe avocados for best taste and texture.
  • Everything But The Bagel seasoning is optional but adds a nice savory crunch.
