- Diced onion
- Bell peppers (any color)
- Fresh spinach
- Freshly chopped chives
- Green onions
- Cilantro

- Guacamole
- Salsa
- Hot sauce

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread a single layer of frozen shredded hash browns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the hash browns are baking, crumble the beef breakfast sausage into a hot skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked through, then drain any excess fat. For beef bacon, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and crumble once cooled slightly.
- In the same skillet (or a clean one), add a touch more oil if needed. Toss in diced onions and bell peppers and sauté over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Add spinach for the last minute or two until wilted.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a splash of milk or water (optional), and season with salt and pepper. Whisk gently. In a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, add a small pat of butter or a drizzle of oil. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently until just set and fluffy.
- In individual serving bowls, start with a layer of crispy hash browns at the bottom. Spoon over the scrambled eggs, add the cooked beef sausage or crumbled bacon, and the sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle shredded cheese over everything to let it melt.
- Finish with your chosen toppings: a dollop of salsa, a swirl of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh chives or green onions. Add avocado slices if desired. Serve immediately while hot.

Keywords: For extra crispiness, use a preheated baking sheet or an air fryer for the hash browns. Don't overcook the eggs; remove them from heat just before fully set. Customize with different cheeses, meats, and vegetables as desired.
