Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet and Savory Breakfast Loaded Hash Browns
  1. Cook the frozen hash browns according to the package instructions, typically frying them in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 6–8 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure to flip them halfway through for even crispness. Once done, set them aside on a warm plate, ready to be topped.
  2. In a separate non-stick skillet, crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk them gently, and pour into the heated pan over medium heat. Stir continuously for about 3–4 minutes until they are fully cooked but still soft and fluffy. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste, then remove from heat and set aside.
  3. On a large serving plate, create a generous bed of your crispy hash browns as the base. Spread a thick layer of creamy chive cream cheese evenly over the hot hash browns, allowing the warmth to slightly melt it into the delicious potato base.
  4. Spoon the fluffy scrambled eggs generously atop the chive cream cheese, creating a delightful layer of richness. Make sure the eggs cover the hash browns evenly, balancing both flavor and texture in every bite.
  5. Crumble crispy bacon over the eggs, generously distributing it for that savory crunch. The bacon adds a wonderful salty note that perfectly complements the sweetness of the honey and the creaminess of the dish, enhancing these Breakfast Loaded Hash Browns.
  6. Finally, take some honey and gently drizzle it over the entire loaded hash browns creation. The sweetness should enhance the dish, allowing you to enjoy a beautiful balance of flavors. Serve immediately while hot for the best experience!
