Ingredients
Scale
Hash Browns
- 2 cups Frozen Shredded Hash Browns (Ensure to drain excess moisture to achieve maximum crispiness)
- 2 tablespoons Cooking Oil (Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point for frying)
Avocado Topping
- 1 large Ripe Avocado (Choose ripe but firm avocados to prevent mushiness)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (Adds brightness to the avocado)
- Salt to taste (Essential for flavor)
- Black Pepper to taste (Essential for flavor)
Egg and Garnish
- 2 large Eggs (Rich, creamy yolk)
- 1 small Red Chili Pepper (Infuses a spicy kick)
- Fresh Cilantro to taste (Herbaceous note)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds (Adds crunch)
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil until it shimmers, indicating the oil is hot enough for frying.
- Cook Hash Browns: Add the frozen shredded hash browns to the skillet, pressing down gently with a spatula. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy. Flip the hash browns over carefully and cook the other side for another 4 to 5 minutes until equally crisp and golden.
- Mash Avocado: While the hash browns cook, in a mixing bowl mash the ripe avocado together with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to your taste until smooth but still slightly chunky.
- Cook Eggs: Create space in the skillet beside the hash browns and crack in the two large eggs. Cook sunny-side up until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Assemble Toast: Remove the hash browns and eggs carefully from the skillet. On a plate, spread the mashed avocado evenly over the crispy hash browns to form a base layer.
- Top and Garnish: Place the sunny-side-up eggs on top of the avocado-covered hash browns. Sprinkle thinly sliced red chili peppers, fresh cilantro leaves, and sesame seeds over everything for a spicy, fresh, and crunchy finish.
- Serve: Serve immediately while the hash browns are hot and crispy and the yolks are creamy and runny, perfect for dipping.
Notes
- Drain excess moisture from frozen hash browns before cooking to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the hash browns and eggs from sticking and make flipping easier.
- Adjust the amount of chili pepper according to your spice preference.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the hash browns before cooking.
- Consume immediately for best texture; reheated hash browns may lose some crispiness.
