A healthy, home-cooked breakfast can set the tone for your entire day. I personally love breakfast and always wake up early to give myself time to prepare a delicious, warm breakfast. This gluten-free breakfast skillet is no exception. Everything from the fried potatoes, sauteed vegetables and delicious overeasy-egg topping make this one of the most filling, healthy and delicious gluten-free breakfast recipes around. PS: This recipe is Whole30 compliant too!
1tbspavocado oilmore if needed, or use cooking spray to ensure potatoes don't stick to pan
1Russet potatodiced (or use a sweet potato)
1cupmushroomssliced
1/2red bell pepperdiced
1/2cupyellow onionfinely chopped
1cupfresh uncooked spinach
1tspKosher saltdivided
1tspbutter
2large eggs
1tspfresh ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
Heat oil in a skillet pan (I used a cast iron skillet pan for optimal flavor). Add potatoes and cook on medium-high heat for five minutes, stirring occasionally until partially browned.
Add mushrooms, bell pepper and onion to mixture. Continue to cook on medium-high heat for 10 minutes until all vegetables are cooked through and slightly brown. Add spinach and pinch of salt, to taste. Cook for one more minute and then turn off heat.
While vegetables are cooking, prepare eggs to your liking in a non-stick skillet pan. Once cooked, gently place eggs atop your vegetable and potato mixture. Top with additional salt and fresh ground pepper, optional.
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped scallions, sliced fresh avocado, shredded cheese, and/or other toppings of choice.
Notes
I used Heritage Breed eggs by Happy Eggs, which is why you see the bright orange yolks. Any egg will work. I used a cast iron skillet, which made the potatoes sizzle up nicely. You could also use a regular or non-stick pan.Use whatever vegetables you like - there are no rules when making your breakfast skillet.I did not top my skillet with cheese, but you could! Simply sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese on top and either cook it on the stovetop until the cheese is slightly melted, or bake the skillet in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese browns. Top the cheese coated skillet with your egg just before serving.
