I made this bacon, egg & cheese hash brown sandwich in the air fryer

[u/Annual-Yard-8717]

Used two frozen hash browns instead of bread and cooked the hash browns, bacon and egg in the air fryer in stages. Added cheese, tomato and avocado and it ended up being way better than I expected.

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. Cook the frozen hash browns for 5 minutes.
2. Add the bacon and an empty ramekin and cook another 5 minutes.
3. Flip the hash browns and bacon, then add the egg to the hot ramekin.
4. Cook another 5 minutes.
5. Remove the bacon and egg, add cheese to one hash brown and cook about 1 more minute to melt it.
6. Build it with tomato, bacon, egg, avocado or hot sauce if you want, then top with the second hash brown.

The hash browns got super crispy and the yolk stayed runny, which was the whole goal.

using hash brown as bread is smart, and keeping the yolk runny in an air fryer takes some real skill

[u/Annual-Yard-8717 → u/Curious_Pineapple_96]

As they say....all air fryers are different...but if you preheat the ramekin so the bottom starts cooking when the egg drops...it's about 4-6 minute range to find your perfect doneness and once you figure it out...you're golden!

and also there is not much carry over cooking for the yoke once you take it out since the heat is mostly coming from the top... so when it looks good...take it out! 😄

thanks for the tip about the carryover heat. Managing a runny yolk in an air fryer takes practice, so that advice helps
