Ingredients
Cooking spray
2 sprays (For skillet coating)
Frozen hash brown patties
4 (Prepared without fat)
Large eggs
2 (Beaten)
Large egg whites
3 (Beaten)
Canadian bacon
3 ounces (Finely chopped)
Scallion
1 tablespoon (Minced (green part only))
Hot pepper sauce
1/8 teaspoon (Optional)
Table salt
1/8 teaspoon (To taste)
Black pepper
1/8 teaspoon (To taste)
Spicy ketchup
8 teaspoons (Hot and spicy variety (optional))
Instructions
1
Begin by coating a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heating it over medium heat.
2
Add the frozen hash brown patties to the skillet. Cook them on one side until golden brown, which should take about 7 to 9 minutes.
3
Once golden, carefully flip the hash brown patties and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the second side is also golden brown.
4
While the hash browns are cooking, take a second large nonstick skillet and coat it with cooking spray; heat over medium-low heat.
5
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add egg whites. Beat the mixture together until well blended.
6
Stir in the finely chopped Canadian bacon, minced scallion, hot pepper sauce (if using), and season with salt and black pepper.
7
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared skillet and increase the heat to medium. Allow the eggs to partially set without stirring for a minute.
8
Once the edges start to firm up, use a spatula to scramble the eggs gently until they are set but still slightly glossy. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm until the hash browns are fully cooked.
9
To assemble your stacks, place one hash brown patty on each of 4 plates.
10
Top each hash brown with one-fourth of the egg mixture, making sure to distribute the bacon and scallions evenly.
11
Serve each stack with 2 teaspoons of spicy ketchup on the side, if desired. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy your fulfilling breakfast stacks!
