Ingredients

  • 6 pieces large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 slices smoked bacon
  • 2 cups frozen hash browns
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 large (store-bought or homemade) biscuits
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to warm the biscuits if they are store-bought or already baked.

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the smoked bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the vegetable oil and spread the frozen hash browns in an even layer. Cook on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.

Step 4

While the bacon and hash browns cook, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.

Step 5

In a non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low-medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring frequently with a spatula, until the eggs are soft and fully scrambled. Remove from heat and fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 6

If using store-bought biscuits, warm them in the preheated oven for 2-3 minutes or according to package instructions.

Step 7

Assemble the breakfast by plating a portion of scrambled eggs, 2 slices of bacon, a serving of hash browns, and a biscuit for each person. Garnish the eggs and hash browns with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for added color and freshness.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Big Easy Breakfast!
