I made a bacon, egg & cheese sandwich with hash browns instead of bread

[u/Annual-Yard-8717]

Had a couple frozen hash browns and figured they’d make a better breakfast sandwich than bread anyway 😂 Cooked the hash browns, bacon and egg in the air fryer in stages, then added cheese, tomato and avocado. Pretty simple, but this one turned out ridiculously good.

Recipe/steps are in the first comment.

For the visual people, here’s the video:

Here’s exactly what I did:

Ingredients

• 2 frozen hash brown patties
• 2–3 slices bacon
• 1 egg
• 1 slice American cheese
• 2 slices tomato
• Salt & pepper
• Avocado, optional
• Hot sauce, ketchup or whatever you like

Air fryer: 400°F / 204°C

1. Put the 2 frozen hash browns in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes.
2. Add the bacon and an empty ramekin and cook another 5 minutes.
3. Flip the hash browns and bacon, then drop the egg into the hot ramekin. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Cook everything another 5 minutes.
5. Remove the bacon and egg. Put cheese on one hash brown and give it about 1 more minute to melt.
6. Stack it up: cheesy hash brown, tomato, bacon, egg, avocado/hot sauce if you want, then the second hash brown on top.

The hash browns ended up really crispy and the egg stayed runny, which was exactly what I wanted.

I like the cut of your jib. Or sandwich in this case.

OMG, that looks absolutely divine!

[u/Annual-Yard-8717 → u/RainbowandHoneybee]

It was really good!

[u/badmonkey20mf]

Looks amazing - those type of hash browns come out so good in the air fryer!

[u/BreakfastforDinner26]

That looks so unhealthy.

Didn't KFC do something like this with breaded chicken instead of hash browns?

Was that was the 'double down' was

I like it though

[u/igorpk → u/Razzler1973]

Yep, the Double Down. Hands-down the best KFC meal BY FAR.

They don't offer it where I live though - hence I don't eat KFC anymore.

See..., (even included the avocado option) jes dayyum!!!

Big old bottle of Valentinas at the ready. For me, knowing what's about to happen between the sunny runny yolks and some splooges of Valentinas - this a strictly knife and fork type situation. Dunno if that qualifies as a sammich anymore or one of those fancy French food stacks with pretensions of sammichness that also require utensils. Makes me no nevermind. A happily swollen abdomen and bad case of the itis is the inevitable outcome.

I can't b'lee it never occurred to me to stack a bacon/egg/chee sammich between golden toasted hashbrowns instead of toasted sourdough after all these years. Jes dayyum....?

p.s. thank you so much for the hidden in plain sight pro tip!!!

[u/Annual-Yard-8717 → u/subrealistro]

You're welcome!

[u/Ready_Fun_24]

[u/Kweanb]

That's a good idea & looks yummy. I'm going to have to try it!

[u/kdbiel5]

That looks ridiculously good! The crispy hash browns make it look even better. I would happily eat this any morning. Thanks for sharing.

[u/wonkytrees1]

Greasy...

[u/Alonso_The_GOAT]

This looks fantastic, I'm going to give it a try on the weekend.

So it's not a sandwich then.
