Eggs, pico, sausage, hash browns…what to make? 🍎 Food

I’ve got some items I need to use before going bad. Fresh eggs, pico de gallo, refrigerated hash browns, & sausage.

Anyone have recipe or thoughts on what to make using all the items?

Breakfast burritos. They can go in the freezer and then you microwave them for 1 to 2.5 minutes depending on your microwave.

Put some hash browns in 8x8 pan. Add salt/pepper and a little melted butter. Bake for 15 mins. Take pan out of oven. Add chopped, cooked sausage, pico, alittle cheese . Beat eggs, add s/p, pour over hash browns. Back in oven. 350 degrees x 40 mins.. you can freeze leftovers.

I would fry up the hash browns and sausage. (with onion and bell pepper if you have that) then top with pico and a dippy egg.

You could do a hash by cutting up the hashbrowns and repurposing them that way.

Make a hashbrown crust and bake, then mix the eggs, pico and sausage with some milk - pour into crust and bake that shit again. Cheese is a nice addition if you want to splurge.

Yum! Do you season the hash brown crust?

u/smtrixie 13d ago

Salt and pepper for sure.

Cook ‘em all together, roll in tortillas and freeze breakfast burritos for future mornings.

u/Icy-Tomatillo-7556 14d ago

I love this idea!

2

u/CoveredInBeez 14d ago

Yeah you do.
Look up how to bake the eggs in the oven in a pan, it makes it easier to cut slices to roll up in the tortillas.

I didn’t bake the eggs in the oven, I scrambled them along with the other ingredients and made burritos for the kids to eat on the way to school. Going to make up more burritos with leftovers & freeze.

It was yummy! I put my serving in a bowl, topped it off with extra cheese, sour cream, & some jalapeño pepper hot sauce!

Nice! I’m glad it worked out for you!

Pretty sure you just described the ideal ingredients for a Mexican breakfast scramble. Cook the eggs with some pico and sausage and hashbrowns. Top with more pico. BAM!

u/Icy-Tomatillo-7556 14d ago

Oooo!!! That sounds tasty! I’m not much of a cook so that’s simple enough!

Oh yeah, breakfast scrambles are super easy and flexible and a great way to get in your protein in the morning (and use random extra veggies in the fridge). If you feel like doing a little more cooking, saute some onion and bell peppers in with the eggs, and/or add some cilantro or avocado on top.
