Equipment

  • Cast iron skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 6 eggs large
  • 4 cups hash browns frozen
  • ⅓ cup onions
  • 8 ounces bacon chopped
  • 2 cups spinach
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large cast-iron skillet, add the onion and chopped bacon. Cook 2-3 minutes until the onions are soft. (Cook longer if you want your bacon crispy.)
  • Add the hashbrowns and chopped spinach. Mix well and cook until the hashbrowns are slightly golden.
  • Break eggs onto the hashbrown mixture.
  • Sprinkle your favorite cheese over the eggs. I used a Mexican blend of cheeses.
  • Cook for 5 minutes then place the cast-iron skillet under a broiler. This will cook the top of the eggs and brown the cheese. The broiling time will vary depending on if you like runny eggs or hard-cooked eggs.
  • Important - You must use a cast iron pan to broil the eggs and potatoes. A regular skillet is not designed to handle the heat of broiling. If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, cover the skillet and allow the eggs to cook through. 
  • Serve hot.

Notes

  1. You can use freshly grated potatoes instead of frozen but be sure to squeeze out the extra liquid with paper towels.
  2. I used cheddar, but you can use any flavor cheese you like.
  3. You can use any combination of ingredients and mix-ins. Sausage, mushrooms, etc. are all tasty in this recipe.
  4. This breakfast skillet will keep fresh up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Store in an air-tight container.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
