Ingredients for Hash Browns Omelet

  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups frozen hash browns
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

How to Make Hash Browns Omelet

  1. Cook bacon until crispy. Remove from pan, reserving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease.
  2. Add chopped onion to the pan with the bacon grease and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add frozen hash browns, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until hash browns are lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Gently pat down the hash brown mixture to create a flat layer in the pan.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash brown mixture in the pan.
  7. Sprinkle crumbled bacon evenly over the top.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the bacon.
  9. Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let the omelet rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
