Perfect for mornings when only a hearty, no-frills, waffle-house inspired breakfast will do!
Ingredients:
- Â 2 eggs
- 2 pieces of bacon
- 1 1/2 cups hash browns (frozen)
- 1/4 yellow onion, diced
- 2 slices American cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat your griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F).
- Place the bacon strips directly on the hot griddle. Cook until crispy, turning as needed, about 4-5 minutes. Once done, remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel to drain. Crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- In the bacon drippings left on the griddle, add the diced onions. Cook until they become translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Spread the hash browns over the griddle, mixing them with the onions. Flatten them out with a spatula to ensure even cooking. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- While the hash browns cook, create a small area on the griddle to scramble the eggs.
- Crack the eggs directly onto the griddle and scramble them with a spatula until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. You can season them with a little salt and pepper if you like.
- Once everything is cooked, move the hash browns into a pile on the griddle and top them with the scrambled eggs.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top.
- Finally, lay the slices of American cheese over the hot ingredients. Let the cheese melt over the eggs and hash browns.
- Carefully slide the assembled breakfast bowl off the griddle and into a serving dish.
- Serve immediately while everything is hot and melty.
This griddle method brings out a deliciously crisp texture in the hash browns and gives everything that classic diner flavor!
