Farmhouse Breakfast Skillet

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes, diced
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
• 1 cup diced ham
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the diced potatoes, onions, and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and the onions are translucent, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together.
4. Make four small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are done to your liking, about 3-5 minutes for slightly runny yolks.
5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and cover again until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Serving Tips:

This rustic, hearty breakfast skillet is perfect for serving family-style right from the pan. Pair it with some freshly baked bread or toast, and maybe a nice cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
