My husband loves breakfast. In fact, that may be a bit of an understatement. We have a running joke in our house about how different Troy and I approach breakfast.

I am complete savory girl. I like any and all things savory with my breakfast-bacon, sausage, grits, toast, or hash. On the other hand, Troy is more on the sweet side-berry oat meal, french toast, and pancakes.

Today was an unlikely compromise. Although it isn’t sweet, there is one thing Troy will always choose if it is available: Smoked Salmon. I decided to make a play on our favorite Bagel and Lox combination by having our hash browns mixed with Everything Bagel seasoning. It was everything we wanted…and more!

Whoever started bottling and selling Everything Bagel seasoning is definitely someone after my own heart!

Enjoy!

And happy eating!

Ingredients

5 cups frozen hash browns, thawed

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 tbs salt

freshly ground black pepper

2 tbs Everything Bagel Seasoning

2 tbs avocado oil

1 tbs ghee

4 oz smoked salmon

Fresh dill

Capers

Creme fraiche

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the hash browns, salt, pepper, Everything Bagel Seasoning, and eggs. Mix until completely combined.

In a cast iron skillet over medium heat, place avocado oil and ghee and heat until it glistens.

Using a spoon, spoon a dollop of the hash browns and spread into a thin even layer. Cook on first side until nice and golden, about 3-5 minutes. Flip using a spatula and continue cooking for a few minutes more.

Place them on a paper towel lined plate to drain off excess oil.

To plate: place Everything Bagel hash browns onto a plate. Layer the smoked salmon on top of the hash browns. Top with fresh dill, capers, and creme fraiche.
