Breakfast Skillet Recipe with Berries
ONE-SKILLET MEALS HAVE BECOME VERY POPULAR, AND THERE IS NO WONDERING WHY. MY BREAKFAST SKILLET RECIPE WITH BERRIES IS ONE TO TRY.
Breakfast Skillet Recipe with Berries:
I was going through my freezer the other day and discovered a package of frozen diced hash browns. So I decided it was time to come up with a recipe to incorporate these. I also noticed that I had some berries that were not getting any younger. Was this a creation in the making? Maybe!
Ingredients Used:
It seems that one-skillet and one-pot recipes are all the rage. They are everywhere–even one-bowl recipes. Well, it was time to get on board and try my hand at something. After all, who wants to have a bunch of cooking equipment to clean? Not me. I must say, I actually enjoyed the cooking process. There is just one skillet to tend to; rather than having several things going at one time.
Tips:
In this recipe, I prefer to fry my hash browns in butter instead of oil. This gives it extra richness. However, butter has a low burn temperature, so you will want to watch the temperature carefully. Do not cook them higher than a medium heat.
Since you do not turn over the eggs and there is no grease to flip on top of the eggs, you will want to cover the skillet with a lid to help set the eggs on top. In addition, the hot cheese also helps to set the eggs.
This is a great use for leftover ham which I had after Easter.

This one-skillet breakfast recipe will have you wondering why you have not been cooking like this all along.
- 16 ounces diced hash browns
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1/3 cup bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup ham, diced
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- salt, pepper, hot sauce (to taste)
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the onion and bell pepper until starting to brown. Add the hash browns to the skillet in a single layer and fry until lightly brown on that side (about 10 minutes). Salt and pepper to taste. Flip over and fry for another 5 minutes on the other side.
Add the ham on top of the hash browns. Make 6 indentions in the hash browns--1 in the middle and 5 around. Carefully crack the eggs and put 1 in each of the indentions. Add salt, pepper and hot sauce to taste. Sprinkle cheese over the entire top and cover with a lid and cook for about 5 minutes.
Uncover and sprinkle with the green onions, blueberries and raspberries. Serve in wedges.
This was a great breakfast, and the fruit was a nice addition!
