Hailey's Hash Brown Breakfast Strips

A hash brown, egg and cheese bake cut into eight long strips that roll into breakfast burritos all week.

8 long stripsYield

What you'll need

  • 1 (4.2-4.5 oz) box dehydrated shredded hash browns, rehydrated according to package directions and drained (about 4 cups prepared), OR 20 oz frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and squeezed dry, OR 4 cups refrigerated shredded potatoes, OR 4 cups cooked leftover potatoes, chopped or shredded
  • 10 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheese, divided
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • cooked, well-drained fridge-cleanout add-ins
  • 8 medium or large flour tortillas
  • Optional salsa, hot sauce, avocado, sour cream, or fresh herbs

How to make it

  1. Heat oven to 375 F (190 C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Prepare potatoes so excess moisture is removed.

  2. Spread potatoes evenly. Scatter up to 2 cups cooked, well-drained add-ins and 1 cup cheese over the potatoes.

  3. Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over the pan, nudging ingredients so egg reaches the corners and bottom.

  4. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake 35-45 minutes, until the center is set and reaches 160 F (71 C).

  5. Cool 10 minutes so the egg structure firms enough to portion cleanly.

  6. Cut into 8 long strips: make seven parallel cuts across the 13-inch span, leaving every strip the full 9-inch length of the pan. Each strip is about 1 5/8 inches wide x 9 inches long. Reheat one strip, place lengthwise in a fresh tortilla, add toppings, and roll.
