Easy Hashbrowns and Chicken Sausage Omelet

Stuffed with potatoes and meat, this easy Hashbrowns and Chicken Sausage Omelet is a satisfying breakfast to enjoy before a busy day. Why not whip one up today?

Do you ever have breakfast for dinner? It’s one of my kids’ favorite treats in the evening, and it can be so fun. How about hashbrowns for dinner?

But let’s be real: Breakfast for dinner needs to be hearty. It needs to have teeth to it, and fill the belly with warmth and comfort. And it needs to be easy, because when you’re having breakfast for dinner, it’s almost never a night when you have infinite amounts of time to spend creating dinner.

Elaborate brinner dishes? No way.

Typically, when I make breakfast for dinner, I rely on variety. Fruit, eggs, something starchy. More fruit. You get the idea.

Hashbrowns for dinner make sense. They are after all a starch that can help make the meal hearty. Hashbrowns are a satisfying, belly-filling part of a good meal. And when served inside omelets like this, they are downright satisfying.

For my Easy Hashbrowns and Chicken Sausage Omelet, hashbrowns, cheddar and chicken sausage combine in an eggy wrap and are topped with avocado and tomato. It’s easy, pretty quick and it’s so, so tasty.

A few notes on this:

There’s a trick to making a good omelet: you can’t get your pan too hot. It needs to be thoroughly heated, but a burner set to the higher end of medium-low will produce a fluffier, not browned omelet. Heat the pan too much, and the omelet will have a golden crust — it’s not bad, but I much prefer it to be a nice yellow.

When you’re cooking the omelet (in a greased pan, of course!), you don’t want to move it too much. Let the eggs cook, swirling the still liquidy ones toward the end to help them find spots to cook in. And then top it.

For the hashbrowns in this, I used Hungry Jack’s new Black Pepper and Onion hashbrowns, which come in a shelf-stable carton and rehydrate in about 12 minutes. Once drained and fried, these taste so much like fresh hashbrowns. And they’re super easy too.

My kids are huge fans.

Each carton has six servings, but for the purposes of this recipe, I use one carton to fill six omelets. That little extra bit in the serving gives these a touch more potato goodness.
