Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, cubed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small onion, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

4 large eggs

1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage or bacon

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Avocado slices (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Prep the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender.

Add Vegetables: Once the potatoes are cooked, add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.

Mix in Proteins: Stir in the crumbled sausage or bacon, mixing everything together well. Allow the mixture to heat for another 2-3 minutes.

Create Wells for Eggs: Using a spatula, make four small wells in the mixture. Carefully crack an egg into each well. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Cook the Eggs: Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny (cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks).

Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the entire skillet and cover again until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.

Garnish and Serve: Once the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh chives and serve warm with avocado slices on the side, if desired.
