4. Spread a layer of scrambled eggs over the hash browns.
5. Add the remaining sausage meat, pressing it down neatly.

7. Air fry at 180°C or oven bake at 180°C fan/200°C for 40-45 minutes, or until the sausage meat is cooked through.
8. For extra crispy bacon, remove the loaf from the tin for the last ten minutes of cooking and turn it upside down, ensuring all sides are exposed to the heat.
