Breakfast Skillet Cookout

Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 13:45:03 GMT

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. You’ll need to melt the cheese in the oven.

Step 2

Heat 2-3 tablespoons olive oil in a 10 inch cast iron skillet to medium heat. If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you can use any oven-proof skillet, preferably non-stick. Add the country/southern style potatoes to the skillet and arrange in a single layer. Cover with a lid and cook about 10-12 minutes, turning 3/4 of the way through, until tender inside and crispy on the outside. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Tip: to get a golden brown and crispy exterior, try not to stir it too much.

Step 3

Heat another 1-2 tablespoons olive oil on medium high heat. Add diced onions, diced bell peppers, and diced ham steak, and cook until tender and golden brown. Turn occasionally.

Step 4

Add the prepared potatoes back in and combine. Top with shredded cheese. Place in the preheated oven for 2-5 minutes, or until nicely melted to your liking.

Step 5

Meanwhile, fry a 2-3 eggs in a separate pan. Note: I like to fry the eggs separately instead of nesting them in the same skillet because I can get that super crispy bottom that I love. This is also great if not everyone likes nested eggs. For example, my husband loves this breakfast skillet with scrambled eggs, but I love mine fried.

Step 6

Serve immediately with the fried eggs.
