So breakfast is the most important meal of the day right? But I'm usually either rushing out the door in the morning and don't have time or it's the weekend and I'm uber lazy. Solution (especially for the lazy sunday mornings): mix everything you need in one bowl and throw it in the skillet! May I present cheesy egg and ham hash browns 😎.
As I was saying, mix everything together in a bowl...and then cook it in a skillet. So easy, and so crispy, crunchy, golden delicious.
Main goods: hash browns, cheddar cheese, bell pepper, ham, a couple eggs, and a little milk. Mix it all together with a few spices and you're ready to cook!
Once everything is mixed, scoop the mixture out of the bowl about 1 cup at a time to make patties. I cooked up 4 at a time on a griddle. Pan fry until the bottoms are crispy, flip and repeat. Top with a dollop of sour cream and sliced chives for ultimate goodness.
Cheesy egg and ham hash browns. Saving sad Sunday brunches one patty at a time!
