Breakfast Skillet Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon strips. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease. Leave 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    In the same skillet, add the diced breakfast potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and tender.

  3. 3

    Scramble the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and cook, gently folding them with a spatula until they are soft and slightly runny.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the eggs are scrambled to your liking, add the cooked bacon (chopped) and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet with the breakfast potatoes. Gently mix everything together until the cheese is melted and well combined.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the breakfast skillet onto plates or serve directly from the skillet. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
