How to Make Mexican Breakfast Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 bell pepper (chopped), and 2 medium potatoes (cubed, about 1 ½ cups).
  4. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  7. Lightly mist 4 (16-ounce) ramekins with cooking spray.
