Eduard's Country Skillet
This is from a good friend, easy and delicious! This is a make with what you have recipe, no set rules here, amounts you use are up to you although I have edited to what I used when I made this on 27 Dec 2016 and it is a keeper! Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 360 grams smoked bacon, 2 180 gram packs
- sausage, OR make from a shortcut
- 200 grams smoked ham
- 3 potatoes, medium to large potatoes, diced large
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 bell peppers, colors are up to you, red, green, and yellow works
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon sage
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- bacon fat, as needed
- olive oil, as needed
- butter, as needed
- spring onions, chopped
- 2 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 6 eggs
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes until just for tender. Remove from the water and let cool so you can handle them. Once they have cooled a little, dice them into large pieces.
- Cook the bacon, ham, and sausage separately then remove and set aside. You can use a bit of each, or just one or two, up to you.
- In the same pan, heat it up with some bacon fat, olive oil, and butter, add the bell peppers, onion, season with salt, pepper, thyme, and sage.
- Cook until the peppers are tender, then add in the potatoes and cooked meat, mix and heat through.
- While cooking the peppers are cooking, preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F), put your large cast iron pan in the oven while it heats. If no cast iron pan, or you oven will not support a cast iron pan, use a baking dish. I used a baking dish.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat slightly, then add the chopped spring onion and cheese, amount is up to you. Add this to the skillet with the potatoes and give a quick stir, remove the cast iron pan (baking dish) from the oven and pour this mixture into the pan and bake for 15-20 minutes until the eggs are set. Serve.
Notes
No cost given here, cost would be based on what you use, shortcuts will save you money as well. This would be an excellent dish to prepare for a late breakfast, brunch, as I do, a main dish for dinner.
This can range from low cost to high cost depending on what you want to use. I will say this a fair value dish as average.
Shortcuts: Sausage, Breakfast Sausage.
