Ingredients

• 3 frozen hash browns (or homemade)
• 3 eggs, scrambled
• 1 avocado, smashed
• ½ cup cottage cheese
• Everything But The Bagel seasoning (optional)
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. Cook the Hash Browns

If using frozen hash browns, cook them according to package instructions until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

2. Scramble the Eggs

In a non-stick skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat until just cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

3. Prep the Avocado

In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.

4. Build the Stack

Place the hash browns on a serving plate. Spread a layer of smashed avocado on each one.

Top with scrambled eggs, dividing evenly. Spoon cottage cheese over the eggs.

5. Add Flavor

Sprinkle Everything But The Bagel seasoning (optional) over the top.

6. Serve

Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the delicious mix of flavors and textures!

Make It Your Own

• Add bacon or sausage for extra protein
• Use sour cream or Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese
• Add chopped tomatoes or green onions on top
• Swap in sweet potato hash browns for a twist
• Top with hot sauce or sriracha for heat

Tips for Success

• Use a fork to mash the avocado – rustic texture is key
• Don’t overcook the eggs – soft and fluffy is best
• Layer while hash browns are warm so cheese slightly melts
• Customize seasoning – lemon pepper or smoked paprika also work
• Cook hash browns in a cast iron pan for extra crispiness

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with a smoothie or protein shake for a balanced meal
• Serve alongside fruit or roasted veggies for brunch
• Enjoy as a post-workout breakfast
• Double the recipe for a brunch board or party tray

Storage & Reheating

• Best served fresh, but components can be prepped ahead
• Scrambled eggs and avocado don’t store well together, but separately they do
• Reheat hash browns in the oven or air fryer to restore crisp
• Avocado oxidizes quickly, so mash just before serving
