Ingredients
Scale
Gather these ingredients and let’s create some magic in the kitchen:
- 6 slices of bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup diced potatoes (I prefer russet or red potatoes)
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Feel free to swap out the cheese for whatever you have on hand, or add a sprinkle of paprika for a smoky kick. Home cooking is all about using what you’ve got and making it work!
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to create your own breakfast masterpiece:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside on a paper-towel-lined plate. Leave the bacon fat in the skillet.
- Add diced potatoes to the skillet and cook in the bacon fat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and tender, about 10-12 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped bell peppers and onions. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Crack the eggs directly into the skillet, spacing them out evenly. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set to your liking, 4-6 minutes for medium yolks.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and let it melt, about 2 minutes.
- Chop the cooked bacon and sprinkle it over the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if using, and serve immediately.
Pro tip: If your mornings are as hectic as mine, prep the veggies the night before. It saves time and makes this meal even easier to throw together.
