This is a wonderful and easy brunch dish...or anytime for that matter! The potatoes get brown and crispy around the edges. I have served this with bacon or sausage for breakfast, or a simple green salad as well. You do need to keep an eye on the eggs, they can overcook fast, I check mine at 10 minutes. The hash brown portion can be made up to 2 hours ahead, keep in the fridge, but let it come back to room temp before putting in the oven. This recipe can easily be halved to serve 4.

Ingredients:
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup yogurt, greek-style
