Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/2 cup onions, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and dicing potatoes, bell peppers, and onions into uniform small pieces.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Add diced potatoes to the skillet first, spreading them evenly. Cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to achieve golden brown and crispy edges.
- Incorporate diced onions and bell peppers into the skillet with potatoes, sautéing for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables become slightly softened.
- Season the potato and vegetable mixture with salt and pepper, ensuring even distribution of seasoning.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and create small wells in the potato mixture for eggs.
- Crack eggs directly into the wells, allowing them to cook slowly and integrate with the potato mixture.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the eggs and potato mixture, covering the entire surface.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes until egg whites are set and cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet, portioning into individual servings.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your vegetables the night before and store them in the refrigerator. This way, you can simply toss them into the skillet when you’re ready to cook.
- Choose the Right Skillet: A large non-stick skillet is essential for this recipe. It not only prevents sticking but also allows for even cooking of the potatoes and eggs.
- Get Creative with Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or spinach to the mix for added flavor and nutrition.
- Perfect Egg Wells: When creating wells for the eggs, make them deep enough to hold the eggs without spilling over. This helps them cook evenly.
- Cheese Variations: Experiment with different types of cheese such as feta, cheddar, or pepper jack for a unique twist on flavor.
- Cook to Preference: If you prefer your eggs runny, reduce the cooking time slightly. For firmer eggs, let them cook a bit longer under the lid.
- Serve with a Side: Pair this dish with fresh fruit or a light salad to balance the meal and add a refreshing touch.
