  • 10 frozen hash brown patties
  • 8 ounces bacon
  • 10 large eggs
  • 8 asparagus spears trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 6 ounces Mexican-style thick-cut shredded cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange hash brown patties on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.Meanwhile, place bacon on a second baking sheet and cook in the oven until crisp (about 15-20 minutes). Transfer to paper towels to drain, then crumble or chop.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together eggs and salt. Scramble in a medium skillet over medium heat until just set. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, quickly sauté asparagus for a minute with a little olive oil, seasoned with salt.
  4. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.Whisk in flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and cream. Bring to a gentle simmer, whisking frequently, and cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. On the baking sheet, top each hash brown patty with scrambled eggs, asparagus, bacon, and shredded cheese. Return to the oven for about 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from oven, spoon country gravy over the top, and serve immediately with tomatillo salsa.
