This recipe is a tasty mixture of eggs, potatoes, bacon, and cheese, along with chopped peppers and onion. It's an all-in-one breakfast skillet, sure to please the whole family or hungry guests.
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook onion and peppers in butter till tender. Add potatoes and season to taste with the salt and pepper; stir, cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, without stirring. Meanwhile, beat together the eggs, milk, Cajun seasoning and ham. Pour over potatoes and cook over low heat, without stirring, until set on the bottom. Lightly stir and turn eggs to shift uncooked eggs to the bottom and cook gently until eggs are cooked through, but still a little shiny and wet. Don't overcook. Taste, adjust seasonings as needed, and stir in half of the cheese. Transfer to plates or serving platter, and top with remaining cheese. Serve immediately with a side of fresh, seasonal fruit.
