How To Make Air Fryer Hash Brown Breakfast Sandwiches

Frozen hash browns arranged in a single layer inside an air fryer basket, cooking to golden and crispy perfection.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C), for 3-5 minutes.

Cook the Hash Browns: Place frozen hash browns in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry, with a cook time of 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.

Bacon strips added to the air fryer basket alongside hash browns.

Cook the Bacon: After flipping the hash browns, add bacon strips next to them in the air fryer. Cook both for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Adjust the cooking time based on your bacon thickness.

Eggs being cracked into a silicone mold for cooking in the air fryer.

Cook the Eggs: Use an air fryer-safe silicone mold or small oven-safe dish for the eggs. Crack eggs into the mold, lightly season with salt and pepper, and add the mold to the air fryer basket. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the eggs are set to your desired consistency (soft or fully cooked).

Cooked eggs, bacon, and hash browns ready to assemble into a breakfast sandwich.

Assemble the Sandwich: Once the hash browns, bacon, and eggs are cooked, layer one hash brown with the egg, bacon, and a slice of cheese. Top with another hash brown.

Melt the Cheese (Optional): If you’d like the cheese melted, place the assembled sandwich back in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes.

Recipe Variations For Hash Brown Breakfast Sandwiches

  • Meat Variations: For meat variations, you can swap out bacon for savory sausage patties or links for a hearty flavor, or use thinly sliced ham for a slightly sweet and smoky taste. For a healthier option, substitute regular bacon with turkey bacon, or go vegetarian by replacing the meat with plant-based sausage or skipping it entirely for a lighter choice.
  • Egg Variations: For egg variations, you can cook sunny-side-up or over-easy eggs for a runny yolk, or prepare fluffy scrambled eggs seasoned with herbs for a classic touch. Additionally, consider adding poached eggs on top for a gourmet flair, or use egg whites for a lighter, protein-packed option without the yolk.
  • Topping Variations: For topping variations, you can add sliced or mashed avocado for creaminess, drizzle your favorite hot sauce for a spicy kick, and include fresh tomato slices for added freshness and acidity. Additionally, experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss for varying flavors, and consider adding sautéed spinach or kale for extra nutrients and color.

Air Fryer Hash Brown Breakfast Sandwich Recipe Tips

  • Use Frozen Hash Browns: For convenience.
  • Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheating the air fryer ensures even cooking.
  • Experiment with Seasonings: Add your favorite seasonings, like garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika.
  • Use Parchment Paper: For easier cleanup, consider lining the air fryer basket with parchment paper.
  • Check Doneness: Keep an eye on cooking times, as air fryer models vary; you want the hash browns to be golden brown and the eggs fully cooked.
  • Add Cheese: For an extra cheesy touch, place a slice of cheese on the egg just before it’s done cooking, allowing it to melt beautifully.
  • Serve Immediately: These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, so assemble and serve them immediately for a warm and delicious breakfast.
