  • Total Time: 19 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Hashbrowns

  • 2 hashbrown patties

Avocado Spread

  • ½ avocado, smashed
  • Spritz of lemon or lime
  • Salt, to taste

Cottage Cheese

  • ¼ cup cottage cheese

Eggs

  • 2 eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • All-purpose seasoning, to taste
  • Sprinkle of sharp cheddar cheese
  • Swish of oil (for cooking)

Toppings

  • Microgreens
  • Green onions, chopped
  • Hot honey (optional)
  • Chili crunch oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook Hashbrowns: Cook the hashbrown patties according to the package instructions. For best results, air fry them at 390°F for 14 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
  2. Prepare Avocado: Smash the avocado in a bowl, spritz with fresh lemon or lime juice, and season with salt to taste. This adds creaminess and a bright tangy flavor.
  3. Make Scrambled Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with pinches of salt, pepper, and your favorite all-purpose seasoning. Heat a ceramic-coated nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add a small amount of oil. Cook the eggs, stirring occasionally (not constantly), until soft, large curds form and the eggs are fully cooked through. Remove from heat, sprinkle the eggs with sharp cheddar cheese, then cover the pan with a plate to allow the cheese to melt.
  4. Assemble the Toast: Layer each crispy hashbrown patty with a generous spread of smashed avocado, a spoonful of cottage cheese, and the cheesy scrambled eggs on top. Finish with your choice of toppings like microgreens, chopped green onions, and a drizzle of hot honey or chili crunch oil for an extra kick.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately, optionally alongside fresh fruit or sliced vegetables for a balanced and nutritious meal.

Notes

  • You can cook the hashbrowns using an oven or stovetop if you don’t have an air fryer; bake at 425°F for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Use lime or lemon juice to prevent the avocado from browning and to add a fresh citrus flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning in eggs to your preference; adding herbs like chives or parsley can enhance the flavor.
  • Hot honey and chili crunch oil are optional but add a wonderful sweet-spicy dimension to the dish.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed immediately to maintain the crispiness of the hashbrowns.
