Ingredients
  

1 pound breakfast sausage (choose from pork, turkey, or plant-based)

1 medium onion, finely diced

1 red bell pepper, finely diced

2 cups fresh baby spinach

4 large eggs

1 cup baby potatoes, diced (or substitute with frozen hash browns)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives) for garnish

Grated cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

Cook the Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced baby potatoes, spreading them out evenly in the pan. Cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once done, transfer the potatoes to a plate and set aside.

    Sauté the Sausage: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Crumble the breakfast sausage into the skillet. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sausage is browned and fully cooked. Use a spatula to break it apart as it cooks.

      Add Vegetables: Incorporate the diced onion and red bell pepper into the skillet with the sausage. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften. Stir in the garlic powder and smoked paprika, cooking for an additional minute until the mixture becomes fragrant.

        Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked baby potatoes to the skillet, mixing them with the sausage and vegetable mixture. Fold in the fresh baby spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the spinach wilts. If desired, sprinkle some grated cheese on top and allow it to melt slightly.

          Cook the Eggs: Create four wells in the mixture in the skillet. Carefully crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs reach your preferred doneness (runny yolks or firm).

            Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle finely chopped fresh herbs on top for added color and a fresh flavor boost. Serve the breakfast skillet hot, directly from the skillet for a rustic presentation, and enjoy!
