Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
3
Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until the bacon is lightly crisp. Once done, transfer the bacon to a towel-lined plate to drain excess fat and set aside.
4
In a large bowl, combine the thawed shredded hash browns, Italian seasoning, granulated garlic, kosher salt, and red chili pepper flakes. Mix well to ensure all potatoes are seasoned.
5
Spread the seasoned potatoes in an even layer across the baking sheet, using the bacon drippings for added flavor. Bake the potatoes in the oven for about 20-30 minutes, or until they begin to turn golden brown.
6
Take the baking sheet out of the oven and sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes.
7
Using the back of a spoon, create 8 wells in the cheesy potatoes. Crack an egg into each well and season with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper.
8
Arrange the crispy bacon slices over the potatoes and eggs. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired doneness.
9
Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
10
Garnish with chopped chives or sliced scallions before serving. Enjoy your delicious, hassle-free breakfast!
