How To Make mushroom, country ham & swiss breakfast stack

• 
  Step 1
  Note: Recipe, as written, is for a double portion, meant for sharing (OR for one VERY hungry person!) Cut recipe in half for single serving. For multiple servings, increase ingredient quantities accordingly and use a large sheet pan and a large skillet.
• 
  Step 2
  Gather and prep ingredients (slice mushrooms, etc...)
• 
  Step 3
  In toaster oven or regular oven, bake hash brown patties according to package instructions. (I line toaster pan with foil and lightly coat with cooking oil spray.) Set your timer.
• 
  Step 4
  While hash browns are baking, to a small nonstick skillet, add country ham pieces; fry ham over medium heat for about one to 2 minutes.
• 
  Step 5
  Turn ham pieces over, add about 2 tablespoons water, cover with foil, reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer until water has evaporated.
• 
  Step 6
  Remove ham to small plate or to the foil used to cover skillet; use kitchen shears to cut ham into smaller, bite-size pieces, if desired (I do.) Set aside.
• 
  Step 7
  Melt 1 teaspoon butter in same small nonstick skillet used to fry ham; add mushrooms and sauté (stirring almost constantly) over medium/medium-high heat until mushrooms have softened and begin to brown; remove from skillet and place with ham.
• 
  Step 8
  As soon as hash browns are finished baking, adjust patties so that long sides are touching.
• 
  Step 9
  Place swiss cheese slices on top. (Reduce oven heat to low and keep warm if hash browns are ready before you're finished with the mushrooms.)
• 
  Step 10
  Mix ham and mushrooms together, then spoon 1/2 on top of the cheese; return to low oven to keep warm.
• 
  Step 11
  In same skillet, melt remaining 1 teaspoon butter over medium/medium-high heat; crack eggs and empty into skillet; fry until whites are no longer translucent (about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes;) turn eggs over and shut off heat.
• 
  Step 12
  Remove prepared hash brown patties from oven to serving plate; slide eggs from skillet onto topped patties; season with small pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.
• 
  Step 13
  Spoon remaining ham and mushroom mixture over eggs.
• 
  Step 14
  Garnish with chives, if desired. Serve immediately.
