Sizzling breakfast perfection: Cast-iron skillet loaded with crispy potatoes, bacon, runny eggs & melted cheddar, kissed by morning light

Oh my goodness, y’all! Let me tell you about this breakfast recipe that’s been driving my family absolutely crazy (in the best way possible). As a busy mom who loves treating her family to something special, I stumbled upon this heavenly Farmer’s Breakfast Skillet that’s literally a hug on a plate!

Listen up, because this is about to become your new weekend breakfast obsession. Think golden-brown potatoes, perfectly crispy bacon, farm-fresh eggs, and ooey-gooey cheese all in one skillet. I mean, who doesn’t want to wake up to that? 🍳


Here’s what you’ll need (trust me, it’s worth the grocery trip):
– 4 russet potatoes, diced
– 8 strips of bacon (because, duh!)
– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 2 bell peppers (I use red and green for that pop of color)
– 6 large eggs
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh chives for garnish (because we’re fancy like that)

Now, let’s get cooking, shall we?

1. First things first, dice those potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Pro tip: don’t make them too small, or they’ll turn to mush (been there, done that, learned my lesson! 🤦‍♀️)

1. In a large cast-iron skillet (my grandmother’s secret weapon), cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, but leave that liquid gold (bacon fat) in the pan.

1. Add your potatoes to the bacon fat (yes, this is why it tastes so good!), and cook until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

1. Sprinkle cheese on top and let it melt into gooey perfection.

1. Garnish with chives, and voilà! Breakfast is served!

Y’all, this recipe serves 4-6 people, depending on how hungry everyone is (or if you’re feeding teenage boys like I am!). It’s perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings or when you want to impress the in-laws.
