Easy Easter Egg Breakfast Skillet Recipe

So, you wake up early on Easter morning and find that you didn't plan anything for breakfast. Uh oh. Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You need something fast and simple. Something healthy and something even the kids will eat. This recipe is a terrific option (and as an Easter bonus, it has carrots in it!).

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

2 Tbs. of vegetable oil

8 oz. of smoked sausage, cut into bite size chunks

1 med potato, peeled and diced

1 ½ cups of fresh spinach leaves, roughly chopped

½ large carrot, shredded

6 eggs, lightly beaten

1/3 cup of Asiago cheese, shredded (parmesan can be substituted)

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Heat the oil in a 10-12 inch skillet, over medium/high heat. Add the potatoes and sausage. Cook until sausage is browned and potatoes are tender.

2. Add the chopped spinach leaves. When they begin to wilt down a little, add the carrots.

3. In the meantime, in a medium bowl, beat the eggs, Asiago, salt and pepper.

4. When carrots are just tender and spinach is wilted, pour the egg mixture evenly over the veggies. Let it begin to set up. Adjust the heat level if needed.

5. Next, lightly stir the eggs into the veggies until they are cooked completely through.

6. Serve with toast and juice for a well-rounded breakfast. For small kids, you could serve use one half of a giant plastic Easter egg for a bowl.

*Tip: This Easter recipe can be doubled for a large gathering such as a family Easter brunch.
