Directions
| Step 1 | Brown the sausage, onions and mushrooms in a medium heat-proof skillet, about 8"(20cm), that has been lightly greased with vegetable oil. Cook the vegetables for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring all the time until the sausage is cooked and the onions are translucent. |
| Step 2 | Add the defrosted hash browns, and cook for a further 4 to 5 minutes, again, stirring all the time until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy. |
| Step 3 | Pour the seasoned, beaten eggs over the top of the sausage and vegetable mixture, and stir them into the mixture gently, so the eggs permeate throughout the mixture. Cook over a low heat for 5 to 6 minutes or until the eggs are nearly set. |
| Step 4 | Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the mixture, and then bake in a pre-hated oven at 200C/400F/Gas mark 6 until the cheese has melted and the mixture is firm to the touch. Or, you can place the skillet under a grill to finish off the dish, cook as above. |
| Step 5 | Serve immediately, with salsa, salad and tomatoes, |
