🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 6 large eggs
• 3 medium yukon gold potatoes
• 0.5 pound breakfast sausage
• 1 large bell peppers
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 cup (shredded) sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Wash and scrub the potatoes. Dice them into small, bite-sized cubes (approximately 1/2-inch).

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. While the potatoes are cooking, dice the bell pepper and onion into small pieces. Set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.

5. Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet. Break it up into small pieces using a wooden spoon and cook until browned and thoroughly cooked (approximately 5-7 minutes).

6. Once the sausage is cooked, add the potatoes back into the skillet and mix everything together. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

7. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt until fully combined. Pour the eggs evenly over the potato-sausage mixture in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes or until they begin to set.

8. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are completely set.

9. Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

10. Serve hot, either on its own or with a side of toast or fresh fruit. Enjoy your Delaware Farmers Breakfast!
