Main Ingredients
- 1 tsp. neutral oil
- 1 frozen hash brown patty, thawed
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 1 slice of American cheese (preferably Kraft)
- 1 large Eggland’s Best fried egg
- 1 slice cooked bacon, finely chopped (optional)
- Hot sauce (such as Frank’s), for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oil and hash brown: In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, warm the neutral oil. Add the thawed hash brown patty and cook undisturbed until the bottom is browned and crispy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Flip and flatten the patty: Flip the hash brown and using a lightly greased burger press or spatula, gently press down to flatten the patty. Ensure it’s not sticking by loosening with a spatula, then cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the bottom is browned.
- Season and add cheese: Flip the hash brown again, lightly season with kosher salt. Place the slice of American cheese on top, cover the skillet, and cook for about 30 seconds, or until the cheese has melted.
- Assemble the tostada: Transfer the cheesy, crispy hash brown to a plate. Top with the fried egg, sprinkle with finely chopped cooked bacon if using, and serve immediately with hot sauce on the side.
Notes
- You can use any brand of American cheese or substitute with cheddar for a different flavor.
- If you prefer, substitute bacon with a vegetarian option or omit it entirely.
- Make sure to thaw the hash brown patty before cooking for even browning.
- Use a nonstick skillet and a bit of oil to achieve the perfect crispy texture.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your spice preference.
