Breakfast Skillet Bowls

One thing matters, and that is: Breakfast is the best meal of the day. All breakfast foods are my favorite. I love the mix-and-match nature of breakfast foods as well. You can get away with it a lot more than any other meal, I feel. That said, I tried some skillet bowls today.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 lbs Sausage

  • Milk

  • All-purpose flour

  • 1 potato

  • 2 eggs

  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese

  • Garlic powder

  • Cayenne

  • 3 tbls Butter

Prep

Grab a larger cast-iron skillet and heat to medium

Wash and chop the potato

Add 1 tbls butter to the skillet

Dump the potatoes in and stir occasionally. Add the garlic powder to taste

As the potatoes start to soften, shift to one side of the pan

Add the sausage to the other side, and chop as it cooks

Heat another pan on medium-low

When the sausage finishes cooking and is no longer red, add some flour lightly to coat it.

Keep stirring those potatoes

Add 1 tbls butter and let it melt with the sausage

Add the cheese to the potatoes as mix to melt

Remove the potatoes and stick in a bowl

Grab the milk and pour it slowly into the mixture and stir until you get the consistency you want for your gravy. Add more flour as needed. Add cayenne to taste

Add the last of the butter to the other skillet

Crack both eggs into the pan

Remove the sausage gravy and pour on top of the potatoes

When eggs cooked as you please, add to the top the bowl

Sprinkle more cayenne to taste

Afterthoughts

This was amazing and the exact type of breakfast I love. The runny yolks in my eggs added extra flavor that mixed well with the gravy, and all of this coated the potatoes gloriously. This can be changed and adjusted in so many ways. Add bacon, add veggies, add rice, remove the gravy, add scrambled eggs, anything you can think of!
