Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil divided, plus additional if needed
  • 3 uncooked bratwurst
  • 3 cups frozen cubed hash browns (no need to thaw)
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • ½ small white onion chopped
  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Thinly sliced green onions for garnish (optional)
  • Yellow mustard for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bratwurst and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until browned and cooked through, turning occasionally. Transfer to cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then cut into 1/4-inch rounds.
  • Add hash browns to same skillet in even layer. Cook over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes or until heated through and starting to turn golden brown, stirring occasionally (add a bit more oil if pan looks dry).
  • Stir in bell peppers and onion and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until peppers are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to plate.
  • While vegetables cook, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in medium bowl.
  • Wipe out pan and let cool 2 minutes. Then, return to medium-low heat and add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to skillet. Pour in egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until eggs are just set.
  • Add cheese, sliced brats and vegetable mixture to skillet and fold until everything is well combined. Garnish with green onions, if desired. Serve immediately, with mustard, if desired.
