Description
A delicious and hearty breakfast dish featuring scrambled eggs, diced potatoes, and melted cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
- Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked potatoes and vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir to combine and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the eggs are just set.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow it to sit for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
- Substitute the cheddar cheese with feta or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
