Ingredients:

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, crumbled
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cups diced potatoes (about 1-inch cubes)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the crumbled sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
  3. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the diced potatoes, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and slightly browned, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk/cream. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and vegetables in the skillet. Cook for a few minutes until the eggs begin to set around the edges.
  7. Sprinkle the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Garnish with fresh chives before serving.

Tips and Tricks:

  • For extra crispy potatoes, pre-cook them in the skillet for a few minutes before adding the other vegetables.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of sausage, cheese, or vegetables. Spicy chorizo or pepper jack cheese would add a delicious kick!
  • If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can cook the eggs and cheese on the stovetop, then broil for a minute or two to melt the cheese.

Serving Suggestions:

This Savory Sunrise Skillet is perfect on its own, but you can also serve it with a side of toast, fruit salad, or a simple green salad. A mimosa or a cup of coffee makes a delicious accompaniment.
