Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups hash browns
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup cheese, shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping mushrooms, measuring out cheese, and gathering other components.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Spread hash browns evenly across the pan, creating a crispy golden layer. Cook for 5-6 minutes until bottom is golden brown and crisp.
- Flip hash browns and cook the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add remaining butter and sauté sliced mushrooms until they release moisture and become golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour egg mixture over mushrooms in the skillet, allowing eggs to spread evenly. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Cook frittata on low-medium heat, occasionally lifting edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, for about 5-6 minutes.
- When eggs are mostly set, transfer skillet to broiler for 2-3 minutes to finish cooking and create a golden top.
- Remove from broiler and let cool for 2 minutes. Cut frittata into portions that will fit between hash brown layers.
- Assemble sandwich by placing frittata portion between two crispy hash brown pieces, serving immediately while warm.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality mushrooms for the most intense flavor and best texture.
- Make sure to press hash browns firmly in the pan to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Keep the heat at medium-low when cooking the frittata to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Pat mushrooms dry before sautéing to help them brown more effectively.
- Don't skip the broiler step – it gives the frittata a beautiful golden top and perfectly set eggs.
- Serve immediately while the hash browns are still crisp and the frittata is warm for the best eating experience.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like gruyère, cheddar, or goat cheese to customize your sandwich.
