Breakfast Skillet

2 medium potatoes (type is your choice, though we use brown potatoes)
2 Morningstar Sausage Patties (you can substitute real meat, of course, but remember to brown it first)
2-3 eggs
1 Tbs Milk
2 Tsp Rosemary
3 Tbs Olive Oil
Lowry's Season Salt
Cojack cheese (or other cheese you like)

  1. Put olive oil in skillet, and put heat on lowest setting.  Crush rosemary and sprinkle into olive oil.  Allow oil to heat for 5-10 minutes while you perform step 2.
  2. Cut potatoes into thin slices (.5-1cm thick).  Heat morningstar sausage patties in microwave for 1 minute, and cut or tear the patties into small chunks (1.5-2cm).  Put potatoes and sausage chunks into skillet.  Sprinkle with Lowry's to taste.
  3. Increase heat in skillet to medium.  Brown potatoes roughly.
  4. Mix eggs and milk in a bowl.  Beat eggs thoroughly (like they said something mean about your parents).
  5. Once potatoes are browned, mix in eggs, stirring constantly.  Allow eggs to cook completely.
  6. Mix in cheese, to taste.
  7. Serve hot.  Does not reheat well!
Carmen and I make this a lot, and I've been tweaking it now and then since she showed it to me.  We'll probably keep on changing it, but this is what it's like as it currently stands.  Now and again we add some green onions (delicious!), and have toyed with adding green peppers or other spices.  It's always a winner and is great comfort food.  From start to finish, it usually takes me about a half hour to 45 minutes to make.

Brinner is awesome!

  1. Looks good, I have some morningstar patties I should use up! I purchased some morningstar crumbles and some veggie protein sausage type stuff to make breakfast burritos and your guys' vegetarian biscuits and gravy! I just need to watch the carbs ;)
