What is Stacked Breakfast?
But breakfast for dinner is perfect. Today’s recipe is one of those “clean out the refrigerator” kind of recipes. It is perfect for those “there is nothing for dinner” type evenings too. A Sausage and Egg Scramble is a complete breakfast or dinner made up of hash browns, sausage, eggs, cheese and a few vegetables. You just stack them one on top of the other.
How to Make A Stacked Breakfast
First Layer
Potato Pancake. I use frozen shredded hash browns to make it extra quick and easy but if you’re in the mood you could totally make your own hash browns.
- Mix shredded potatoes with flour, egg, milk, salt & pepper, oil and dried onion. That helps hold the potato together.
- Add 1 Tbsp oil to a frying pan.
- Spoon in potato pancake mixture and flatten with a spatula forming a large pancake.
- Allow to cook until desired crispness on one side and then flip and cook on other side. If you make one large potato pancake it will be difficult to flip (see photo below) so you may want to make a few smaller ones.
Second Layer
Scrambled Eggs. Cook eggs to your desired doneness.
Sausage. Cook sausage until crumbly and cooked through. I used a mild Italian Sausage.
- Add on top of potato pancake.
Third Layer
Cheddar Cheese, Tomato and Green Onion. You can also use Monterey Jack Cheese, Pepper Jack or your favorite cheese.
This recipe is one of those “not exact” recipes. I just mixed and sprinkled the amount I thought looked right but I’ll try my best to give you some exact measurements. I made it for two so that is what the recipe is for. It is an easy one though to double or triple!
