This dish is as delicious as it is simple. The crispy potato, the creamy yolks, and the sharpness of the cheddar all come together wonderfully. And the veggies take on a lovely, nutty flavor after being roasted. This meal is perfectly hearty without being heavy, and since the amounts can be easily adjusted to serve any number, it’s a great dish to serve at a brunch.
Feel free to switch up the vegetables for your favorites (I think zucchini would be delicious), or you could add some kind of breakfast meat.
Baked Egg Skillet with Vegetable Hash
(Yield: 1 serving)
1 TB olive oil
1 small potato, cleaned and diced
½ small white onion, diced
1 small bell pepper (or ½ medium bell pepper), any color
1 clove garlic, minced
2 large eggs
Salt and pepper
½ oz sharp white Cheddar, shredded
Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Preheat the oven to 400F. Heat a small-medium pan (an 8- or 10-inch pan works well here) on medium-high heat. Add the oil and potato and cook over medium to medium-high for 5-10 minutes (stirring occasionally), until the potatoes are browned and cooked through. Add the onion, pepper, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper, turn the heat down to medium or medium-low and cook another 3-5 minutes, until the veggies start to soften.
Make two wells in the veggies so that the eggs have a place to go, then gently crack each egg into a well. Sprinkle a little more salt and pepper on top of each egg. Bake until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired consistency (about 10 minutes will give you runny yolks with set whites). Sprinkle the cheese on top then bake for 45-60 seconds longer, just to melt the cheese. Serve with parsley sprinkled on top.

This looks fabulous. I love egg dishes and I eat them a lot.
I would definately eat veggies for breakfast if I could have this!
My hubby would be all over that dish!!!
you probably made this with me in mind (aren’t I narcisstic) because this is exactly the kind of dish I would envision and crave for! How fortunate! I just bought a bag of gold potatoes! YAY!
Wow this is my type of breakfast! I love the combination of potato and eggs. I make this often minus onion and peppers. I must add them, too next time. Thanks for the idea!
I have been thinking of this kind of dish for a while. We are sure having the same vibe, Faith!
Delicious! This is a perfect meal. I have always been a fan of breakfast for dinner….yum!!!
Oh, that looks really yummy! Perfect idea for my late supper!
What a hearty and delicious breakfast! Love the eggs on top!
this looks like a really good breakfast dish!
oh, now i know what i want to eat after my long run this weekend! YUM!
What a fantastic healthy delicious breakfast.
Great brunch idea! Think I like the idea of adding some ham to it and agree zucchini would be delicious. Frankly, anything that has fried or roasted potatoes in it will bring me running.
Have a wonderful weekend, my fabulous foodie friend!
This looks delicious! I’m comin’ over for lunch.
this sounds & looks waaaay better than any hotel breakfast :)
I think I’ll make this for breakfast but with red bell peppers. I bought a few of them since they were such a nice price.
I could eat this any time of day.
This is my kind of food. What a wonderful gathering of delicious choices and those eggs are equal to the cherry on top but much better.
My children would love this as they love fried eggs but I’d have to pass.
