Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prep the vegetables by washing and dicing potatoes, onions, and bell peppers into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add a thin layer of oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Add diced potatoes to the skillet first, spreading them in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn golden brown and crisp on the edges.
- Add diced onions and bell peppers to the potatoes, seasoning with salt and pepper. Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables are softened.
- Incorporate the crumbled cooked sausage into the vegetable mixture, stirring to distribute evenly and warm through.
- Create small wells or spaces in the vegetable mixture and crack the eggs directly into these spaces, allowing them to cook sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your liking.
- Remove from heat, season with additional salt and pepper if desired, and serve hot directly from the skillet.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can dice the vegetables and crumble the sausage the night before. Store them in the fridge so they’re ready to go in the morning!
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and high-quality sausage can make a significant difference in flavor. Consider using seasonal veggies for an extra burst of freshness.
- Adjust the Heat: If you find the potatoes browning too quickly, reduce the heat slightly. You want them crispy, not burnt.
- Customize Your Eggs: If you prefer your eggs cooked differently, feel free to scramble them in the skillet instead of cooking them sunny-side up.
- Add Cheese: For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle some shredded cheese over the eggs during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to let it melt.
- Serve with Style: Garnish your skillet breakfast with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Leftover Magic: If you have leftovers, this dish reheats beautifully. Just store it in an airtight container and enjoy it the next day!
