Ingredients
  

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

1 medium onion, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

2 cups baby spinach

4 large eggs

1 cup baby potatoes, diced (or hash browns)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish

Grated cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced baby potatoes and cook until golden and tender, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Once cooked, transfer them 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 and cook over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

      Add Veggies: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the sausage. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Stir in the garlic powder and smoked paprika, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

        Combine Ingredients: Stir the cooked baby potatoes into the skillet with the sausage and veggies. Fold in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. If you like, sprinkle some grated cheese over the top at this point and let it melt slightly.

          Cook the Eggs: Make four wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking (runny yolks or firm).

            Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle fresh herbs on top for a burst of color and flavor. Serve the breakfast skillet hot, straight from the skillet, and enjoy!
