The perfect one pot one portion dish for a solo weekend brunch, featuring crispy hash browns topped with cheese and a perfectly cooked egg, with creamy avocado and crispy chilli oil to finish.
If there’s one thing that can make a hash brown (which is already an almost perfect food product) better, it’s cheese. And if you’re going to go to the effort of making yourself breakfast you might as well make it this recipe, because it has every component of an excellent brekkie except bacon, though you could easily add that when you bake the hash browns. Now there’s an idea… If you start seeing this on the brunch menu of every overpriced restaurant in London, you’ll know who to credit.
