Anyone else have a hard time making a hot breakfast in the morning? It’s early, you’re tired, and maybe you haven’t had your coffee yet.

If so, you’re going to love my hash browns breakfast skillet. The entire meal is made in a single pan and is ready in less than 20 minutes.

Not only is it simple to make, but it’s filled with flavor. Only a few ingredients are needed for this quick and easy breakfast skillet – hash browns, onions, bell pepper, eggs, and a few spices. 

Plan Ahead for an Easy Breakfast

To make this breakfast even easier, you can do some of the prep work the day before. Dice up your bell peppers and onions a day ahead, then store them in the refrigerator. 

In the morning, all you have to do is toss your ingredients in the skillet and start cooking. 

I like to top my hash browns with some chopped chives or parsley for a splash of color.

Or, try sprinkling some cheddar cheese on top of your hash browns while the eggs are cooking.

If you’re feeding a crowd, try my Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole. It’s made with hash browns, sausage, and eggs – but bacon can also be used instead. 

Hash Browns and Eggs

There are a few options when it comes to making your eggs for this breakfast skillet. If you’d like to fully cook your eggs though, cook them for about 4-5 minutes.

If you’d like your eggs sunny side up, they’ll only need about 2-3 minutes of cooking. Optionally, serve with toast for dipping.

Or, push your hash browns to the side and scramble your eggs on the other side of the skillet. You can’t go wrong when it comes to hash browns and eggs.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 1/3 cups frozen hash browns
• 1/2 small onion diced
• 1 bell pepper diced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 4 large eggs

Instructions

• In a pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add frozen hash browns, onions, and bell pepper. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir to coat with butter. Cook for 7-8 minutes undisturbed (or until browned on bottom). 
• Flip hash browns over in pan. Make four holes in the hash browns, then crack an egg into each hole. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 2-3 minutes for a sunny side up egg, or 4-5 minutes if you'd like your eggs cooked through.

Notes

• For fully cooked eggs - cook for 4-5 minutes.
• For sunny side up eggs - cook for 2-3 minutes, or until whites are opaque and yolk is still runny.
• Optionally, push your hash browns to the side and scramble eggs on the other side of the skillet. 
• Garnish breakfast skillet with chives or parsley before serving for a splash of color and flavor.
• If adding cheese, sprinkle a handful of shredded cheddar cheese onto hash browns while eggs cook.
