Why You’ll Love the Sunrise Skillet

This skillet stands out because it perfectly balances crispy textures, savory flavors, and comforting simplicity—all while minimizing dishes. Roasted potatoes, colorful peppers, onions, and eggs unite for an easy, visually stunning meal. Swap in your favorite vegetables or breakfast meats to keep things interesting, or load it up with shredded cheese and herbs for a customizable treat. The sunrise skillet is a time-saving wonder that guarantees everyone will ask for seconds.

Essential Tips for a Flavorful Sunrise Skillet

The key to flavor-packed results is pre-cooking the potatoes and giving your veggies ample time to caramelize before adding the eggs. Dicing your vegetables evenly makes for quicker, more consistent cooking—using a chopper like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper can save time and ensure uniform cuts.

A reliable, nonstick skillet is also a must; a sturdy pan like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch retains heat well and ensures your eggs won’t stick. For the perfect crispy edge, heat your skillet thoroughly before adding any ingredients.

How to Make the Best Sunrise Skillet

Achieve the best texture by cooking potatoes until golden and slightly crunchy, then sautéing veggies until sweet and softened. Crack eggs directly into divots you make in your vegetable hash for a picture-perfect look—and cover the skillet briefly to steam the eggs just until set. For mess-free prep and easy cleanup, reach for Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll if roasting potatoes or bacon in the oven.

Once assembled, garnish with fresh herbs, shredded cheese, or hot sauce to suit your taste. For perfect slicing or shredding of breakfast meat, a Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen can create ideal bite-sized morsels without hassle.

Serve your sunrise skillet sizzling hot, straight from the pan, or portion it into a Bentgo Salad Container for a portable breakfast or lunch. Leftovers reheat beautifully, so double the recipe to enjoy an easy meal prep option for busy mornings. Pair with toasted bread or avocado for an even more satisfying meal.

Instructions

1. Heat the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch over medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Once hot, add diced potatoes. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are crisp-tender and golden. Push potatoes to one side of the pan.
2. Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and sauté peppers and onion for another 4-5 minutes, until softened and caramelized. Add optional cooked sausage or bacon now if using.
3. Stir in smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix potatoes and vegetables together and press into an even layer.
4. Make 4 small wells in the vegetable mixture and crack one egg into each well. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 3-5 minutes, until egg whites are just set but yolks are runny. Sprinkle with shredded cheese during the last minute, if desired.
5. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives and serve immediately, straight from the skillet (use an oven mitt like the KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set if serving at the table).
6. For meal prep, scoop servings into the Bentgo Salad Container and store refrigerated for up to 3 days.
