Hash Brown Waffle Egg in the Holes with Tomato Avocado Salsa

These Hash Brown Waffle Egg in the Holes with Tomato Avocado Salsa are such a delectable flavor combination!  Hash Brown waffles are the base of this delightful breakfast with a fried egg in the middle.  They are topped with a simple tomato and avocado salsa for one of the best breakfasts I have ever had.  This flavor medley is out of this world delicious! Aren’t the colors of this dish so gorgeous too!

I have been making egg in the holes for breakfast since I was a little kid.  I really wanted to share this timeless recipe with a new spin on it.  This mindset led me to a lot of failed experimentation!  I spent 2 different days trying to figure out how to make the perfect hash brown waffle.  Oh my did I have some epic failures!  Note to self…hash browns need to have some added ingredients to prevent major stickage situations!  You definitely can’t just add a little egg to your hash brown and expect it to make a waffle…LOL!

After several failures, I finally got my hash brown waffle to congeal after adding a little flour, milk and eggs.  After that fiasco, I decided to make these babies into egg in the holes.  It worked beautifully!  I just couldn’t resist adding a beautiful touch of color with a simple tomato and avocado salsa.  You can always just eat this lovely hash brown egg in the hole by itself…totally delicious!

Okay, so I have to admit to something here…I am in currently in process of doing a little cocktail recipe research (think vodka, lemons, strawberries and all things fabulous).  Definitely some hardcore stuff going on here…took the burn off of a rather rough work week!  Working in the social services field can be such an emotional roller coaster sometimes.  Yay to the weekend!  🙂
