Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices bacon
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices bread
- 4 tablespoons jam or jelly
Instructions
Start by prepping the potatoes for hash browns. Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then grate them using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess liquid.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the shredded potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes. Remove the hash browns and set them aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
In another skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Turn the slices occasionally to prevent burning. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
While the bacon is cooking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until fully combined.
In a non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, for 3-5 minutes until the eggs are soft and scrambled to your liking. Remove from heat.
Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a griddle until golden brown. Spread 1 tablespoon of jam or jelly on each slice.
To serve, plate a portion of scrambled eggs, 2 slices of bacon, a serving of hash browns, and a slice of toast with jam. Repeat for all servings.
