Breakfast Potato Sausage and Egg Skillet

The combination of italian sausage, cheese and potatoes; what's not to love! The aroma from this will definitely wake your family up for breakfast. I love how simple it is to make. After a quick prep of sauteeing the sausage and onion, a little blending and some mixing, (and some sprinkling of the cheese ofcourse), you just pop it in the oven and be patient. Tell the kids it's breakfast pizza!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb ground Italian sausage
  • 1 medium yellow onion minced (about 3/4 cup)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp fresh minced parsley or chives
  • 1 cup grated colby jack cheese divided
  • 1/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 medium potatoes about 12 oz

What you will need:

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Saute 1/2 lb ground Italian sausage. No need to add oil; the sausage has enough of it's own. When it's nearly cooked through, add minced onion and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until sausage is lightly browned and onions are soft. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together until blended: 4 large eggs with 1/4 cup whipping cream, 1/2 cup cheese, 1/4 tsp salt and 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Blend in the sautéed sausage and onions.
  3. Peel potatoes and grate them on the large holes of a grater. Squeeze out any excess water from potatoes and stir them into the egg mixture, mixing well to combine.
  4. Generously butter your baking dish and pour your mixture into the prepared pan.
  5. Sprinkle the top with 1/2 cup cheese and dot with 1/2 Tbsp of butter pieces. Bake uncovered in the center of the oven at 375˚F for 30-35 min or until the top is golden browned.
