Ingredients

1 package (24 oz./700 g) frozen shredded hash brown patties, thawed and broken apart or 4–5 cups (1–1.25 L) of sweet potatoes, cauliflower, or regular tater tots, thawed
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp (5 mL) Tex-Mex Rub (or salt and pepper to taste)

7 eggs
½ cup (125 mL) milk
Salt and ground black pepper to taste (optional)
1 cup (250 mL) ham, chopped or cooked sausage, chorizo, or veggie crumbles
½ cup (125 mL) fresh mushrooms, sliced or 1 jalapeno (seeded and chopped)
¼ cup (60 mL) green onion slices
¼ cup (60 mL) green bell pepper, chopped
1½ cups (6 oz./170 g) cheddar or Colby Jack cheese, shredded

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
For crust, combine potatoes (or chosen veggie), egg, and rub (or salt and pepper) in a large bowl.
Spread the potato mixture into a 14-in (36-cm) circle on a prepared stone and pat down with the back of a spoon. Bake for 20 minutes; remove from oven.
For the egg topping, whisk eggs and milk in a small bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes, stir, then microwave for an additional 3 minutes. Stir again, then spread the cooked egg mixture evenly over the potato crust. Top with meat or cooked veggie crumbles, jalapeno or mushroom slices, and the cheese.
Return to the oven and bake for 10 more minutes.
