Ingredients
Eggs (beaten)
Hash browns
Sliced cheese
Your choice of diced meat
Butter
Seasoning salt
Red bell pepper (diced)
Onion (diced)
Hot pepper (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Add a generous amount of butter to your griddle over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the hash browns and mix them well with the butter. Flatten them into a thin layer and let them cook until they are about 90% browned.
- Season your hash browns with seasoning salt. Add a bit more butter to the side of the griddle and then add the diced red bell pepper and onion. On the other side, place the diced meat and cook until the veggies are softened and the meat is browned.
- When the hash browns are beginning to brown on the edges, pour the beaten eggs over them, allowing the eggs to work into the hash brown layer. Immediately add the sliced cheese on top.
- Sprinkle the browned meat and sautéed veggies over the egg mixture.
- Once the eggs are fully cooked, cut the hash brown omelet into sections and fold them over to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
For a vegetarian option, skip the meat and load up on extra vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or tomatoes.
Frozen hash browns work great—just thaw them first for an even texture.
To make it spicier, add hot peppers or cayenne pepper to the egg mixture or as a garnish.
Cheddar is a classic cheese choice, but feel free to experiment with Monterey Jack, Swiss, or mozzarella.
For a creamier finish, consider topping your omelet with avocado slices.
