Breakfast Skillet Ingredients

- Vegetables: Chop baby spinach, dice white mushrooms, and slice scallions.
- Salt and Pepper to season the eggs
- Sausage: Slice smoked turkey sausage into half-moons. I used turkey kielbasa.
How to Make a Breakfast Skillet
- Egg Mixture: Whisk the eggs with a tablespoon of water and stir in the cheese, spinach, salt, and pepper.
- Brown the Sausage in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. After five minutes, add the mushrooms and scallions and cook until the mushrooms are tender. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Bake: Pour the eggs over the veggies in the skillet and bake at 400°F for 8 to 12 minutes. Once the eggs are set, remove from the oven and slice into six wedges.
Variations
- Meat: Replace smoked turkey sausage with a chicken one or Italian turkey sausage. If you don’t want to use sausage, substitute ground turkey.
- Vegetarian Breakfast Skillet: Omit the sausage.
- Mushrooms: Switch out white button mushrooms with baby bellas.
- Don’t like mushrooms? Skip them and use another vegetable, like bell pepper or zucchini.
- Scallions: Sub chopped onion for scallions.
- Cheese: Swap cheddar with shredded mozzarella or Swiss.
- Seasoning: Add extra spices, like paprika, onion powder, or garlic powder, or dried herbs, like oregano or parsley.
What to Serve with a Breakfast Skillet
Although this dish is called a “breakfast” skillet, it’s good to eat anytime a day. Since there’s so much protein, it’s great on its own, but if you’re serving it to a small group for brunch, below are some extra ideas.
Storage
- Refrigerate this sausage skillet for up to 4 days and microwave it until warm to reheat.
- Freeze the egg slices in a freezer-safe container for up to three months. Thaw them the night before or microwave them straight from frozen for a little longer.
