HASH BROWN OMELET



Hash Brown Omelet image

We took the classic diner breakfast of an omelet and hash browns and combined them into a no-fuss dish that's both hearty and satisfying. Frozen shredded hash browns are browned in a skillet until golden and crisp, then cooked directly with the eggs for crusty potatoes in every bite. We also loaded the inside of the omelet with sautéed bell peppers, Canadian bacon, tomatoes and melty cheese and topped the whole thing with avocado slices for the ultimate diner-style meal you can easily make at home.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup finely diced green bell peppers
1/4 cup finely diced Canadian bacon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups frozen shredded hash browns (about 5 ounces; do not thaw)
2 large eggs
2 slices American cheese
1/4 cup finely diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon thinly sliced scallions
1/2 ripe avocado, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers, Canadian bacon, a pinch of salt and a couple grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are just tender and the bacon begins to brown in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the veggies to a small bowl, then return the skillet to the heat.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the same skillet, swirling the pan to evenly coat. Add the shredded hash browns in a single layer, pressing them down with the back of a heatproof spatula. Cook, undisturbed, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, about 8 minutes. Flip the hash browns over, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil around the edge of the skillet, then continue to cook until the other side is golden, 4 to 5 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and a couple grinds of black pepper in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Break apart the hash browns slightly, then pour the eggs over top in an even layer. Cook until the eggs are just set, about 1 minute. Lay the cheese on one side of the omelet, then sprinkle over the reserved peppers and bacon, the tomatoes and scallions. Continue to cook until the cheese is just melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Fold the omelet in half over the filling like a book, then slide onto a plate. Top with the sliced avocado and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet: This will give the omelet plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too many ingredients, the omelet will be thick and dense.
  • Cook the potatoes thoroughly: This will ensure that they are soft and tender.
  • Use a spatula to gently lift and fold the omelet as it cooks: This will help it to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the skillet.
  • Season the omelet to taste: You can add salt, pepper, garlic, onion, or other spices to taste.
  • Serve the omelet immediately: This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

This hearty potato omelet is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its combination of potatoes, eggs, and vegetables, this omelet is a great way to get a healthy and filling meal. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this hearty potato omelet a try.
