Ingredients

  • Crust:
  • 8 Cups Frozen Shredded Hash Brown Potatoes, Thawed & Drained
  • 1/4 Cup Butter, Melted
  • 2 Large Eggs, Beaten
  • 1/2 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tsp. Salt
  • Sauce:
  • 4 Oz. American Cheese, Cubed
  • 2 Tbsp. Milk
  • 1 Tsp. Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 Tsp. Dijon Mustard
  • Topping:
  • 3.5 Oz. Pkg. Sliced Canadian Bacon
  • 6 Large Eggs
  • 1/4 Cup Milk
  • 1/4 Tsp. Salt
  • 1/8 Tsp. Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. Butter
  • 1 Tbsp. Chives or Scallions (Green Part), Chopped

Directions

  1. For The Crust: Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 12-Inch pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In large bowl, toss potatoes, 1/4 cup melted butter, 2 eggs, flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Press potato mixture in pan.
  3. Bake 20 - 25 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
  4. For The Sauce: In small microwave safe bowl, cover and microwave cheese cubes and 2 tablespoons milk on high 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Stir in Parmesan cheese and mustard until well blended.
  5. Spread 1/2 cup of the cheese sauce over potato crust; top with Canadian bacon.
  6. Cover remaining sauce to keep warm. Bake 5 - 7 minutes or until Canadian bacon is heated through.
  7. For The Topping: In medium bowl, beat eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper with fork until well mixed.
  8. In 10-Inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat just until butter begins to sizzle. Pour egg mixture into skillet.
  9. As mixture begins to set at bottom and side, gently lift cooked portions with spatula so that thin, uncooked portion can flow to bottom. Avoid constant stirring. Cook 3 - 4 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist.
  10. Spoon scrambled eggs over hot crust. Drizzle with remaining cheese sauce. Sprinkle with chives or parsley.
  11. Bake in oven 5 - 8 minutes or until heated. Use a spatula to lift servings from pan.
  12. Tip: Feel free to add diced bell peppers, diced mushrooms (sauteed) and chopped avocados. Also, experiment with the mustard used in the sauce. Sometimes to spice it up just a bit, I've used Silver Spring's Chipotle Mustard and/or Horseradish Mustard.
