Hash Browns Breakfast Stacks (Print View)

Layers of crispy hash browns, sausage, eggs, and cheese come together for a satisfying breakfast stack.

# What You'll Need:

→ Gravy

01 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
02 - 2 sweet Italian sausage links, casings removed
03 - 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
04 - 0.25 teaspoon dry mustard powder
05 - 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
06 - 2 cups whole milk

→ Hash Browns

07 - 20 ounce package shredded hash brown potatoes

→ Eggs

08 - 6 large eggs

→ Cheese

09 - 6 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded

# Directions:

01 - Melt unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add crumbled sweet Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking apart with a spatula.
02 - Sprinkle in all-purpose flour, dry mustard, and kosher salt. Stir constantly for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in whole milk. Simmer until the gravy is thick and smooth, about 5 minutes.
03 - Shape shredded hash brown potatoes into even discs using a round cookie cutter or similar mold. Cook the potato discs in a preheated panini press or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 4–5 minutes per side.
04 - Whisk eggs with a splash of whole milk. Pour into a nonstick skillet over medium heat and scramble until set but still creamy.
05 - Layer a hash brown disc on each serving plate. Top with scrambled eggs and shredded cheddar cheese. Spoon warm sausage gravy over the stack and serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - Chill the shaped hash brown discs for 10 minutes before cooking to promote even crisping.
