Notes
💡 Pro Tips Thaw hashbrowns completely and pat dry for the best texture. Add veggies like diced bell peppers or mushrooms for extra color and flavor. Prep ahead: Assemble the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Just bake in the morning! Test doneness by inserting a knife in the center—it should come out clean when the eggs are set.
