breakfast nom nom
I saw a diner cook on TV do something similar to this and thought it sounded great -- a mash of yummy breakfast stuff. Made this last week, and it is absolutely delish! I used leftover spicy smoked sausage from one night's dinner. If you use a mild sausage, you may want to add a splash of hot sauce if you like a kick. Even for the tomato haters (like my daughter), the tomato really adds a lot to this, so I would go ahead and use it. I don't think they'll know it's in there. Use more cheese if you're a cheese nut like me. I sprinkled some more on top after everything was mixed up.

This may look like a big mixed up mess but it is delicious! All the fresh veggies give this dish a great flavor and then the melted ooey, gooey cheese in the mix of all this yumminess is just fabulous. This is fairly easy to throw together and all though it is great for breakfast this is hearty enough to have any time of day. If you like to do breakfast for dinner, this is the dish to make.

How To Make breakfast nom nom
-
Step 1Beat the eggs with a splash of milk and a pinch of nutmeg. Set aside. -
Step 2Meanwhile, get an electric skillet (or very large pan) heating with about 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp canola oil over medium heat.
-
Step 3Add the potatoes and sprinkle with some salt. Cook for a couple of minutes, tossing around lightly.
-
Step 4Then add the onions, peppers, and spices. I used paprika, garlic, seasoned salt, some parsley, and black pepper. Cook until the potatoes and veggies are tender (about 5-10 mins, depending on potato size).
-
Step 5Add the tomato and sausage pieces (remember mine were pre-cooked). Toss around to get it all cooked through.
-
Step 6Then, push the potato mixture into a square shape, making a well in the opening.
-
Step 7Melt about a tablespoon of butter into the open area. Pour the beaten eggs into the opening and let them cook for about 1 minute. Then begin stirring them with a rubber or wooden spatula/spoon. Add some salt and pepper to the eggs.
-
Step 8Once they start getting white and firming up just a bit, add the cheese. Once that starts to melt, stir everything together. It will look like a mash-up of yumminess.
-
Step 9I sprinkled some more black pepper and scallions on top. Dig in! Serve with toast or muffins and some fresh fruit.
