Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a 12-inch ovenproof skillet or pizza pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine thawed hash browns, melted butter, salt, and pepper until evenly mixed.
Press the hash brown mixture into the prepared pan to form a cohesive crust with slightly raised edges.
Bake the crust for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and top with cheddar cheese, crumbled sausage (if using), diced bell pepper, and green onions.
Create four shallow depressions in the toppings and crack an egg into each well. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny.
Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
