Grilled breakfast skillet in cast iron

Do you like an easy weekend breakfast? I have to say this is a meal we really love. Make it for breakfast, make it for dinner – either way, works! Especially if it’s this Breakfast Skillet made in my favorite cast iron skillet.

There’s something about that oozy egg over these deliciously grilled potatoes and bacon, it’s the perfect combination! I like adding a bit of Tabasco sauce, or hot sauce to top it off, mmmm!!!!

It has bacon, eggs and potatoes and ranks right up there with our favorite breakfast burger, Cheesy Bacon Burger with Fried Egg!

Why You’ll Love this Easy Breakfast Skillet

  • It’s friendly for a hot morning when you don’t want to heat up the house, when you are camping or at the cabin, but you can make it indoors if you’d prefer.

Ingredients for Breakfast Skillet recipe

Please scroll down to recipe box for full recipe with ingredients and instructions. This is a brief overview for you!

  • Butter
  • Red potatoes 
  • Vegetable oil
  • Seasoned salt
  • Salt
  • Ground black pepper
  • Bacon
  • Garlic
  • Eggs
  • Extra-sharp cheddar cheese
  • Green onions for garnish (optional)

How to Make a Breakfast Skillet

  1. Preheat – Either preheat your grill or oven
  2. Prepare ingredients – Dice the potatoes and bacon and mince the garlic. Mix together the potatoes and bacon and season them.
  3. Cook Potatoes and Bacon – Place the skillet on the grill or stove top and melt butter. Add the potatoes and bacon. Cook until browned. Add garlic during last minute of cooking.
  4. Add Eggs – Make four wells in the potato mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Close grill or place in oven and cook until whites are set, about 10 minutes. Top with cheese, melt and serve!

Pro Tip

Don’t flip the potatoes until they get a nice golden brown on them. The more you flip them the harder it is to achieve a crispy exterior.

Can I use frozen hash browns?

Yes! We recommend using diced frozen hash browns they work great in this, but of course, fresh is always better.

    Putting an egg on everything is a great idea 🙂 That burger you mentioned sounds incredible, too.
