Method
 

Preparation
  1. Step 1 — Melt butter and whisk eggs: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk eggs and cream until smooth, then pour into the skillet.
  2. Step 2 — Cook soft scrambled eggs: Reduce heat to low. Stir gently with a spatula until the eggs are just underdone, then transfer to a plate.
  3. Step 3 — Heat oil and brown potatoes: Add canola oil to the same skillet and warm over medium. Spread hash browns into a single layer and cook five minutes without stirring.
  4. Step 4 — Turn and crisp: Scrape and flip the potatoes, then cook another five minutes to crisp the other side.
  5. Step 5 — Add veggies and ham: Mix in vegetables and ham, cook five to ten minutes until heated through and slightly browned.
  6. Step 6 — Assemble bowls and finish: Combine potatoes, veggies, and eggs in bowls, top with cheese and herbs. Cool before storing or serve warm.

Notes

Tips for Success: Dry the hash browns before cooking. Keep eggs slightly underdone as they finish cooking when mixed. Use a hot pan for potatoes for a golden crust. Cool before sealing and reheat gently.
