Country Breakfast Skillet

 

Ingredients:

• ¾ lb bacon (about 12 slices)
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup diced red potatoes
• ½ cup chopped green peppers
• ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Cut bacon into 1-inch pieces and cook in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Carefully drain off about half the fat and return the skillet to the stovetop.
2. Add the potatoes and peppers to the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown.
3. Empty the bacon, potato, and pepper mixture into a bowl and set aside. Return the skillet to the stovetop.
4. Crack each of the 4 eggs into the skillet, separately, and let cook for about 1 minute, until the egg whites set. Do not stir.
5. Carefully spoon the potato, pepper, and bacon mixture around the eggs, sprinkle in the cheese, and cook for about 1 minute.
6. Remove the skillet from the heat, sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste, and toss on some freshly chopped parsley. Serve right away!

Safety guidelines:

• Be careful when cooking bacon, as it can splatter hot grease.
• When adding the potato and pepper mixture back to the skillet, be careful not to disturb the eggs.
• Use a clean spoon to spoon the potato, pepper, and bacon mixture around the eggs.
• Be careful not to overcook the eggs, or they will become hard and rubbery.
• Serve the eggs immediately after cooking.
