Who doesn’t love a good breakfast? I know our family loves having a big breakfast on the weekends! Sometimes it can be monotonous so we try to switch it up from the usual eggs, bacon and toast as much as we can. Breakfast skillets are very popular right now so we tried our own version at home. Let’s just say we will definitely be having them again. We grabbed our cast iron skillets, everyones favorite ingredients and created some delicious breakfast skillets!

Cast Iron Breakfast Skillets

Ingredients

4 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 onion, chopped
3 potatoes, scrubbed, chopped into 3/4-inch cubes
1/4 cup water
2 green onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Place bacon in a large cast iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, 5 to 8 minutes.
Drain on paper towels; reserve most of the bacon fat in skillet.
Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir onions until starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add potatoes; toss to coat evenly in bacon fat.
Pour in water and cover skillet with a large lid. Cook, checking occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
Add green onions, garlic, and paprika.
Season with salt and pepper.
Make 4 wells in the potato mixture using a wooden spoon, revealing the bottom of the skillet. Pour eggs over the mixture and cook until set; about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle on some additional cheese, place the lid back on and allow to melt.
Serve and enjoy!
