Instructions
1.
Cook the Bacon
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Lay bacon slices in the pan and cook until crispy, flipping as needed (8–12 mins).
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
✅ Tip: Save a little bacon fat to cook the hash browns or eggs for added flavor.
2.
Make the Hash Browns
- Rinse the grated potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then squeeze dry with a clean towel.
- Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the potatoes in a flat layer, season with salt and pepper, and press down with a spatula.
- Cook undisturbed for 5–6 minutes until golden, then flip and cook the other side for 4–5 minutes.
- Optional: Stir in onions or seasonings before the flip.
3.
Scramble the Eggs
- In a bowl, beat eggs with milk (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour in eggs and stir gently with a spatula, cooking low and slow until softly set.
- Remove from heat just before fully cooked (they’ll finish with residual heat).
4.
Toast the Bread
- Toast the slices in a toaster or in a pan with a bit of butter.
- Spread with butter or jam while hot.

To Serve
- Plate up: a scoop of hash browns, a portion of scrambled eggs, a few crispy bacon strips, and buttered toast.
- Add optional sides like fruit, sausage, or hot coffee/tea for a full diner-style experience.
🔄
Variations
- Healthier option: Swap bacon for turkey bacon or avocado, use egg whites, or add sautéed spinach to your eggs.
- Cheesy eggs: Stir in shredded cheddar, feta, or mozzarella at the end.
- Make it a sandwich: Stack bacon, eggs, and cheese between toast or a bagel.
