Eggs & Main
- 1
Prepare chosen meat
Select one meat option. For bacon or turkey bacon: place strips in a cold skillet, turn heat to medium, cook 5–8 minutes turning occasionally until crisp to your liking; transfer to paper towel. For sausage links: heat a skillet over medium, add links, cook 10–12 minutes turning frequently until internal temperature reaches 160°F/71°C; drain. For ham steak: heat 1 teaspoon oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high and cook ham 2–3 minutes per side until browned and warmed through.

Cook the eggs (sunny-side or over-easy)
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low and add 1 tablespoon butter. When butter is foaming, crack two eggs into a small bowl to check for shells, then gently slide into the skillet. Season with 1/8 teaspoon black pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt. For sunny-side up: cook 2–3 minutes until whites are set but yolks still runny. For over-easy: cook 2 minutes until whites are set, gently flip with a spatula, cook 15–30 seconds more for runny yolks. For over-medium/firm: cook 45–60 seconds after flipping for a partially/fully set yolk. Remove eggs to plate and keep warm.
Potatoes

Home fries from fresh potato
If using a fresh russet potato: peel if desired and cut into 1/2-inch dice. Rinse and dry pieces. Heat a separate skillet over medium-high with 1 tablespoon oil. Add diced potato, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, 10–12 minutes until golden and tender. Optionally add 1/4 cup chopped onion in the last 5 minutes. Keep warm.

Frozen hash browns
If using frozen hash browns: heat 1 tablespoon oil or butter in a skillet over medium. Add 3/4 cup frozen shredded potatoes in an even layer. Cook 4–6 minutes without stirring to brown, then flip portions and cook another 3–4 minutes until crisp and cooked through. Season with 1/8 teaspoon salt and keep warm.
