Omelet Ingredients

Green Chili Sauce Ingredients

Hashbrowns Ingredients

Toast/Biscuit/English Muffin

Method

Omelet Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the country sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cook the Omelet

    In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Pour in the egg mixture and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.

  4. 4

    Add Sausage and Cheese

    Sprinkle the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet. Carefully fold the other half over and cook for another 2 minutes until the cheese melts.

Green Chili Sauce Directions

  1. 5

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add Chilies and Tomato Sauce

    Stir in the diced green chilies and tomato sauce. Add cumin powder and salt. Simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Hashbrowns Directions

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Grate the potatoes and soak them in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

  2. 8

    Cook the Hashbrowns

    In a frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the grated potatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side.

Toast/Biscuit/English Muffin Directions

  1. 9

    Toast the Bread

    Toast the slices of bread or English muffins until golden brown. If using biscuits, warm them in the oven according to package instructions.
