1. Cheeseburger Hash Brown Omelet
Yield: 2
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Difficulty Level: Easy
You'll Need:
For the hash brown omelet:
- 1 lb potatoes, peeled & grated
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp herbes de Provence
- 2 tbsp flour
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp salt
For the cheeseburger filling:
- 12 oz ground beef, cooked
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- ½ onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
Here's How:
1.1 Fry the ground beef until cooked all the way through, season with salt and pepper, and set aside for later. For the hash brown omelet, peel the potatoes, grate them directly into a clean dishcloth, and squeeze out any excess liquid. Transfer the grated potatoes to a large mixing bowl and stir in the eggs, herbes de Provence, flour, salt, and pepper until combined.
1.2 Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat and pour in the hash brown omelet mixture. Fry for 3–4 minutes on both sides and spread a thin layer of ketchup on top. Spoon the cooked ground beef onto half of the omelet and top with onions, parsley, and shredded mozzarella. Fold the uncovered half of the omelet over the fillings, cover the frying pan with a lid, and heat the omelet on low heat until the cheese has melted.
2. Yin Yang Fried Egg
Yield: 1
Prep Time: 2–3 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Difficulty Level: Easy
You'll Need:

2.2 Pour the egg whites onto the left side of the frying pan, saving about 1 tablespoon for later. Let the egg whites cook briefly, then remove the aluminum foil from the center of the pan. Pour the egg yolks onto the other side of the pan, making sure to save about 1 tablespoon for later.
2.3 Let the egg yolks cook briefly, then use a shot glass or a bottle cap to cut out a small circle from both sides.
