Weight Watchers Bacon, Egg and Hash Brown Stacks

Ingredients

Directions

Cook the hash browns

  1. Coat a large non‑stick skillet with cooking spray.

  2. Place hash brown patties in the skillet; cook over medium heat on the first side until golden brown, about 7 to 9 minutes.

  3. Flip the patties; cook until golden brown on the second side, about 5 minutes more.

Make the egg topping

  1. Meanwhile, coat a second large non‑stick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium‑low heat.

  2. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, egg whites, bacon, scallion, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper; pour into the prepared skillet and then increase heat to medium.

  3. Let the eggs partially set and then scramble using a spatula.

  4. When the eggs are set but slightly glossy, remove from heat; cover to keep warm until the hash browns are finished cooking.

Assemble and serve

  1. To assemble stacks, place one hash brown patty on each of four plates.

  2. Top each with one‑quarter of the egg mixture and serve with two teaspoons of ketchup.

  3. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired.

Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Frozen hash brown potato patties
Form the crisp, golden base of each stack.
Eggs
Set into the soft, scrambled topping that gives the dish its body.
Egg whites
Add extra protein structure, helping the scramble set up firm and tender.
Canadian-style bacon
Adds salty, savory flavor and a bit of chew to the egg mixture.

The step that matters

Removing the eggs from heat while still slightly glossy. Eggs keep cooking from residual heat after they leave the pan. Pulling them off when just set but glossy keeps the scramble tender and prevents it from turning dry and rubbery.

Swap the potato

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (egg, pepper, sauce, ketchup):

  1. Capsicumfits better
  2. Horseradishfits better
  3. Mustardfits better
  4. Potatothe original

Fit is the average pairing score against egg, pepper, sauce, ketchup. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes.
