Chorizo and Eggs with Melted Cheese on Crispy Hash Browns
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb chorizo sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups frozen hash browns
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the chorizo in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the olive oil and frozen hash browns. Cook according to package instructions until crispy and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, in a separate non-stick skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat until just set, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- To assemble, divide the crispy hash browns among 4 plates. Top each with a portion of the scrambled eggs, followed by the cooked chorizo. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each serving.
- Place the assembled plates in the preheated oven and bake for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve hot.
