Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 cup diced potatoes (preferably Yukon Gold)

1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (or plant-based sausage)

1/2 cup bell pepper, diced (any color)

1/2 cup onion, diced

1 cup fresh spinach

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or dairy-free cheese)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, such as parsley or chives)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir occasionally and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.

    Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

      Add the Sausage and Spinach: Stir in the crumbled breakfast sausage and cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the sausage to warm through. Then, add the fresh spinach, stirring until it wilts.

        Create Wells for Eggs: Using a spatula, make four wells in the skillet mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

          Cook the Eggs: Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or to your desired doneness).

            Add Cheese and Serve: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the eggs and cover the skillet for an additional minute until the cheese melts. Once done, garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve straight from the skillet, allowing everyone to dig in. Enjoy your hearty one-pan breakfast with toasted bread or on its own!
