Spinach & Cheese Breakfast Skillet

Recipe Description

I love to make this Spinach & Cheese Breakfast Skillet when I know I’ll have a busy day ahead and need something to stave off the hunger pangs. Like the old phrase, I tend to eat breakfast like a king – it is often my biggest meal of the day so I like to make an effort with it!

This recipe is healthy and filling, combining ingredients like potato, bacon, and spinach to make a hash in a skillet. In the center of the hash, I crack in two eggs and sprinkle with cheese. I cook the hash until the egg whites are completely set. Then I enjoy with a large mug of coffee while I read the weekend newspaper. Bliss!

To make Spinach & Cheese Breakfast Skillet, you will need the following ingredients:
