- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 egg

Hate to sound dumb, but you don't have to thaw the hash browns? They will come out OK after 1 minute in the microwave?

No you dont have to thaw potatoes. They cook longer than 1 minute, 2 minutes to be exact.

My husband and I love this recipe. It is so quick and easy. He usually makes it every weekend. We like using eggbeaters and adding more bell pepper and onions or mushrooms or whatever you want. Thanks Mr. Food.

You could spread out your hash browns in a 9 X 9 pan and heat till almost done then make however many 'wells' to pour your eggs into. You may need to adjust the timing since you are adding volume. Just a thought it might be easier to use Egg-beaters if you don't have a proper kitchen to work in.

To all those who are constantly asking what is calorie content you can figure it up by addressing the ingredients listed. The hashcrowns are 60 calories, an egg is 80 if a large size is used, an ounce of cheese is around 100 depending on variety. Nearly everything is nowadays labeled for calorie content or if not there are thousands of calorie count sites online. I am not singling anyone out but for every recipe on here there are entries asking how many calories it contains. It is not rocket science to figure it out.
