Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices bacon Thick-cut, chopped
  • 1 lb hash browns Frozen shredded, thawed
  • 3 tablespoon flour All-purpose
  • 2.5 cups whole milk Warmed
  • 3 eggs Large
  • 3 tablespoon butter For hash browns/eggs
  • 1 tablespoon chives Chopped garnish
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper Fresh cracked

Equipment

  • 2 Skillet Large
  • 1 Whisk Standard

Method
 

  1. Fry chopped bacon until crisp. Remove meat, keeping 3 tablespoon grease in pan.
  2. Fry hash browns in a separate skillet with butter until golden and crispy.
  3. Whisk flour into bacon grease; cook 1 min. Slowly whisk in milk. Simmer until thickened.
  4. Fry eggs in a small pan until whites are set but yolks are runny.
  5. Pour gravy over hash browns. Top with eggs, bacon bits, and chives.

Notes

Reserve your bacon grease! It provides the essential smoky flavor base for the gravy. Serve immediately while the yolks are runny.
