Classic American Breakfast Recipe

American · Main course · 30 min total

A hearty and satisfying breakfast featuring fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, golden hash browns, and buttered toast, perfect for starting your day.

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 6 slices bacon
• 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 slices white bread
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

1. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
2. Meanwhile, place shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. In a bowl, mix potatoes with onion, salt, and pepper.
3. In the same skillet, discard all but 2 tablespoons bacon fat. Add vegetable oil and heat over medium-high. Spread potato mixture in an even layer and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
4. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until frothy. In a nonstick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Pour in eggs and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until just set but still creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Toast bread slices and spread with softened butter.
6. Serve eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast on plates. Enjoy immediately.

Tips

• For extra fluffy eggs, whisk in a splash of water instead of milk.
• To keep hash browns crispy, avoid overcrowding the pan.
• Substitute turkey bacon or sausage for a variation.
