Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Frozen hash browns
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once melted and bubbling, add the frozen hash browns in an even layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove the hash browns from the skillet and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring the eggs spread evenly across the surface.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to set, but the center is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet, then layer the cooked hash browns over the cheese.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling to cover it. Press gently to seal.
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the center is fully set.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
