Wake Up to Flavor: Irresistible Loaded Breakfast Skillet with Eggs & Bacon

Learn how to make delicious Loaded Breakfast Skillet with Eggs & Bacon. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

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:

  1. 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.
  2. Add diced potatoes to the skillet and cook in the bacon fat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chopped bell peppers and onions. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
  4. 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.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and let it melt, about 2 minutes.
  6. Chop the cooked bacon and sprinkle it over the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. 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.
