This hearty Breakfast Skillet is packed with crispy potatoes, eggs, cheese, and savory meats or vegetables—all cooked in one pan for maximum flavor and easy cleanup. Perfect for weekend brunches or satisfying weekday meals.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups diced potatoes (russet or Yukon gold)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup breakfast sausage or bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: spinach, mushrooms, jalapeño, hot sauce, fresh herbs

Instructions

  1. Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add diced potatoes and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add onion and bell pepper, cooking for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in cooked sausage or bacon and any optional vegetables.
  5. Make small wells in the skillet and crack eggs into them, or scramble separately and stir in.
  6. Cover and cook until eggs are done to your liking, about 3–6 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, cover for 1 minute to melt, and garnish as desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the skillet and let the potatoes cook undisturbed at first.
  • Customize with your favorite mix-ins like black beans, avocado, or different cheeses.
  • Great as a make-ahead meal—just cook everything except the eggs in advance.
