Egg Skillet
An easy egg skillet made with crispy red potatoes, bacon, sautéed onions and peppers with over easy eggs on top. Perfect for breakfast, brunch or even dinner!
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons salted butter
- 1 pound red potatoes , washed
- 4 bacon , cut into 1/2-inch pieces or 1/2 pound sausage
- 2 teaspoons garlic , minced
- ½ cup diced onion
- ½ red bell pepper , chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 5 large eggs
Optional toppings
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- green onions , sliced
- parsley optional for garnish
- avocado
- diced tomatoes
- hot sauce or salsa
Instructions
- Cut each potato into 8 small pieces.
- For sausage, brown and crumble sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove sausage from skillet onto a plate lined with paper towel. Discard grease from pan.
- Melt butter in the skillet. Add potatoes, sliced bacon (if using), onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over top. Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until crisp around the edges and fork tender. Flip occasionally, being careful not to smash the potatoes. Turn down the heat if they're cooking to fast. Add sausage back to pan.
- Make five wells in the potatoes and then crack the eggs into the skillet. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-8 minutes over low heat, or until the eggs are set. Sprinkle salt and pepper over top.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top the last couple minutes of cooking, if desired. Add green onions and hot sauce if desired. Serve while hot.
Notes
Meat: In place of bacon you could add in 1/2 cup diced ham or sausage. You could also omit the meat altogether.
Vegetables: If you'd like to add more veggies, feel free to add in mushrooms, spinach, chopped asparagus or broccoli. I would add when you start cooking the potatoes.
Mexican flavors: Avocado, cilantro and salsa would be delicious on top too. To kick up the heat you could sprinkle chili powder on the potatoes while they're cooking.
Leftovers: If you have leftovers, they taste delicious stuffed in a tortilla to make a breakfast burrito.
