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:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 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.
- Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 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.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk/cream. Season with salt and pepper.
- 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.
- Sprinkle the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- 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.
- 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.
