  • Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet then add diced veggies and saute over medium heat 5 minutes until softened.
  • Layer sautéed veggies on top of hash browns. Make 2 small holes in mixture then gently drop eggs in.  Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper and cheese.
  • Cover pan and cook over low until eggs are set- about 7 minutes.

Notes

Expert Tips:
  • Use a nonstick skillet to keep shredded potatoes from sticking to pan.
  • Prep the veggies the night before for an even quicker meal.
  • Saute veggies long enough to allow them to release steam and brown slightly.
  • Sprinkle diced ham, sausage or bacon on top if desired.
  • Cover skillet to help eggs set.
