How to Make Scrumptious Skillet Breakfast

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
  2. While the sausage cooks, microwave the diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a sprinkle of salt for 4-6 minutes, or until slightly softened.
  3. Add the cooked potatoes and chopped onion to the skillet with the sausage. Stir to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes, until potatoes are tender but still hold their shape.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and potato mixture in the skillet.
  6. Spoon the salsa over the top of the eggs, then sprinkle with the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, reserving about an ounce of each for a final sprinkle.
  7. Place the skillet in a preheated oven's center rack at broil for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
