Hash Brown Omlet

I feel like I'm spilling all my secrets here, but this breakfast dish is too good not to share.

*Important Tip: It took me a couple trys to get this recipe down. I found that the trick is to let the egg mixture set (covered) before adding the bacon and cheese. By cooking the hash browns for about 7 minutes FIRST, then letting the second layer of egg mixture cook and set over that (don't forget to cover for quick even cooking), and then sprinkling with the bacon and cheese, you can ensure each layer is cooked properly for a perfect finish.

As with any omlet, feel free to alter the ingredients (I usually leave onions and peppers out)
