Ingredients

22 pieces hash brown crowns (such as Ore-Ida brand)
10 chicken nuggets (like ‘Just Bare’ brand)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup Colby-Jack cheese, shredded
Parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the hash browns and chicken nuggets according to their package instructions. For convenience and crispiness, cook them together in an air fryer until both are golden and done.
Step 2: While they cook, heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Spray the skillet with cooking spray, pour in the egg mixture, and stir continuously until the eggs are scrambled to your desired consistency.
Step 3: Divide the cooked hash browns evenly between two bowls. Top each bowl with 5 chicken nuggets and one scrambled egg.
Step 4: Sprinkle shredded Colby-Jack cheese over the eggs, and garnish with parsley if using. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika or garlic powder to the eggs before scrambling.
Swap chicken nuggets for cooked sausage or bacon for a different protein option.
Use any shredded cheese you like or have on hand, such as cheddar or mozzarella.
Add fresh diced tomatoes or avocado on top for a fresh twist and added texture.

Storage

Store leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat hash browns and chicken nuggets in the air fryer or oven to maintain crispiness. Scrambled eggs reheat best gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid drying out.
