I’m a huge fan of breakfast for dinner which I why I love this dish featuring shredded hashbrowns, crispy bacon, sautéed onions, bell peppers, and fried eggs. A complete meal in itself, this dish is packed with protein, veggies, and a touch of indulgence. It’s a great option for a quick meal any day of the week. Let’s get started!

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 strips of bacon, chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups shredded hashbrowns (frozen or fresh)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  2. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté until they become tender and slightly caramelized, which takes about 5 minutes.
  3. Push the onion and bell pepper mixture to one side of the skillet and add the shredded hashbrowns to the other side. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the hashbrowns, stirring occasionally, until they become golden and crispy, which typically takes around 10 minutes.
  4. Once the hashbrowns are cooked, mix them together with the onion and bell pepper mixture in the skillet. Add the crispy bacon back to the skillet and give everything a good stir to combine.
  5. Create four wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the eggs reach your desired level of doneness. For runny yolks, cook for about 4-5 minutes. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.

Notes

For extra crispy hashbrowns, squeeze out any excess moisture from the shredded potatoes before cooking. Feel free to customize the ingredients by adding other vegetables such as mushrooms or spinach as well.  Be careful when frying the eggs to avoid breaking the yolks. If you prefer, you can also scramble the eggs and mix them into the skillet instead. Serve hot and enjoy this delicious dinner!

Strawberry Smoothie

You'll need about 1 cup of fresh strawberries (or frozen if you've got 'em), 1/2 a banana to add creaminess, 1 cup of your favorite milk (almond, cow’s, soy – whatever floats your boat), and a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of sugar for a touch of sweetness. Optional: a dollop of yogurt for added richness and probiotics. Pop everything into your blender, give it a whirl until it's silky smooth, and pour into a chilled glass. If you're feeling a tad adventurous, toss in a handful of oats or your choice of protein powder for an extra kick.
