The last week in Oregon has been over 100 degrees and somewhat miserable. The boys and I have been living at the farm pool, cuddling close to the window AC units and attempting to avoid turning on the stove as much as possible. This means quick, easy dinners with fresh garden ingredients are a MUST. One of my favorite dinner options that fits this description is a Breakfast Skillet.
Breakfast for dinner!? YES. It’s an easy way to use up garden produce, feed your family a quick and healthy meal, and keep the stove from heating up your house.

Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 lbs sausage
- 2 bell peppers, diced
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 6-8 red potatoes, sliced
- 6-8 eggs
- 1 cup cheddar, shredded
- 3 Tbsp herbs, chopped (optional), parsley, chives, etc.
Instructions
- 1
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until warm when you hover your hand over it. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil or butter, the diced onion and cook for a minute until translucent. Add the sausage and cook until browned. Drain off excess fat, if needed.

Add other veggies and potatoes, and cook until potatoes are soft and everything looks golden and crispy. Sometimes you need to cover the skillet to steam the potatoes a bit. Should take about 15 minutes all together.

While the skillet cooks, fry your eggs in a separate pan to desired consistency. Serve the skillet in bowls with the fried eggs on top and sprinkle with fresh herbs!
