Eggs

Protein (choose one)

Hash Browns

Toast

Optional garnish

Method

Protein (choose one)

1

Ham (pan-seared)

Heat a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add ham steak and sear 2–3 minutes per side until heated through and lightly browned. Remove to a plate and keep warm.

2

Bacon

Place bacon strips in a cold skillet, then set over medium heat. Cook 4–6 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisped to your liking. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain; reserve 1 tsp bacon fat in pan for hash browns if desired.

3

Heat 1 tsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sausage links and cook 10–12 minutes, turning frequently, until browned and cooked through (internal temp 160°F / 71°C). Transfer to plate and keep warm.

Hash Browns

4

While the protein cooks (or immediately after), wipe or use the same skillet and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 tsp butter; heat over medium-high until shimmering. Add the shredded hash browns in an even layer, season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Press down with a spatula and cook undisturbed 4–5 minutes until the bottom is deeply golden and crisp.

5

Flip the hash brown mass in sections (or invert using a plate) and cook the other side 3–4 minutes until golden and cooked through. Transfer to the plate with the protein and keep warm.

Eggs

6

Use the skillet used for protein/hash browns, reduce heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon butter. Crack two eggs into a small bowl (one at a time) and gently slip into the pan. For sunny-side up: cover pan and cook 2–3 minutes until whites are set but yolks still runny. For over-easy: cook 2 minutes, gently flip and cook 20–30 seconds more. For scrambled: whisk eggs with 1/8 tsp salt and pinch pepper, pour into the pan and stir gently until softly set, about 1–2 minutes.

7

Season eggs with remaining pinch of salt and pepper, then transfer to the plate with hash browns and protein.

Toast

8

While eggs finish, toast two slices of bread in a toaster until golden. Spread 1 tbsp butter across the warm toast and cut on the diagonal if desired.

Plating and serving

9

Arrange eggs, chosen protein (ham, bacon, or sausage), a generous portion of hash browns and toast on a plate. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve ketchup or hot sauce on the side. Serve immediately while hot.
