Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 slices smoked bacon
- 2 cups frozen hash browns
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 large (store-bought or homemade) biscuits
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to warm the biscuits if they are store-bought or already baked.
In a large skillet, cook the smoked bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In the same skillet, add the vegetable oil and spread the frozen hash browns in an even layer. Cook on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.
While the bacon and hash browns cook, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.
In a non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low-medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring frequently with a spatula, until the eggs are soft and fully scrambled. Remove from heat and fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
If using store-bought biscuits, warm them in the preheated oven for 2-3 minutes or according to package instructions.
Assemble the breakfast by plating a portion of scrambled eggs, 2 slices of bacon, a serving of hash browns, and a biscuit for each person. Garnish the eggs and hash browns with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for added color and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Big Easy Breakfast!
