Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Hearty Breakfast Skillet.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients for a seamless cooking experience.
Step 2
In a spacious skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat, turning it occasionally until it reaches a perfect golden brown, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Once done, drain the bacon on paper towels, but be sure to keep most of that flavorful bacon fat in the skillet.
Step 4
Crumble the crispy bacon and set it aside for later.
Step 5
Lower the heat to medium and in the reserved bacon fat, sauté the chopped onion until it softens slightly, around 5 minutes.
Step 6
Add the chopped potatoes, tossing them to coat in the savory fat.
Step 7
Pour in some water and cover the skillet, allowing the potatoes to cook until tender, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes.
Step 8
Stir in the sliced green onions, minced garlic, and a dash of smoked paprika, seasoning the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to your liking.
Step 9
With a wooden spoon, create four wells in the potato mixture, exposing the skillet's bottom.
Step 10
Crack an egg into each well and season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 11
Generously sprinkle the crumbled bacon and shredded Cheddar cheese over the entire skillet.
Step 12
Cover the skillet and let it cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain delightfully runny, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 13
Serve this hearty Loaded Breakfast Skillet hot and savor every delicious bite!.
