Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 medium potatoes, diced small
• 8 ounces ground breakfast sausage
• 1 large bell pepper, diced
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over your campfire or portable stove. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until it begins to soften.

Step 3

Stir in the diced potatoes, spreading them out into an even layer. Allow to cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to crisp and brown.

Step 4

Push the potatoes and onions to one side of the skillet and add the ground breakfast sausage to the other side. Break it up into small crumbles with a spoon, cooking until browned and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Combine the sausage with the potatoes and onions.

Step 5

Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender.

Step 6

Reduce the heat slightly and make 6 small wells in the potato mixture. Crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your preferred doneness.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the skillet and allow it to melt for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot directly from the skillet.
