Ingredients

3 Cups Red potatoes, large diced
4 Cups Frozen broccoli florets
14 oz Fully cooked sausage
8 Eggs
4 tbsp Butter
2 Garlic cloves
2 Cups Shredded cheddar cheese
Scallions or Parsley, for garnish (optional)
2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper

Instructions

First, wash and chop red potatoes into bite-sized pieces. I left the skin on the potatoes for extra nutrition and a pop of color. Also, peel and mince 2 cloves of garlic.

Preheat a large pan, preferably a cast iron pan, on medium heat. Whichever pan you choose to use for this recipe, make sure it has a lid that fits. The lid will come in handy later when cooking the eggs and melting the cheese. To the preheated pan, add butter and minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute to infuse the melted butter with garlic.

Then, add the chopped potatoes, salt, pepper and cook for 12 minutes. The key here is to refrain from constantly tossing the potatoes that are cooking in the pan. Allow the potatoes to brown by letting them cook on each side long enough.

Next, thaw the frozen broccoli florets by microwaving them for 5 minutes and add to the pan. This recipe uses frozen broccoli because I have found that it holds more moisture and cooks quicker than fresh broccoli. If you are using fresh broccoli, add a quarter cup of water to the pan with the broccoli and cook with the lid on to steam the broccoli.

Also, add fully cooked sausages to the pan after cutting them into bite-sized pieces. I used Johnsonville flame grilled cheddar sausage and it worked really well for this recipe. Feel free to use any kind of fully cooked sausages that you like! Breakfast sausages are also great for this one-pan dish. Once the broccoli and sausages are added, gently toss to mix.

Then, form four wells by moving aside ingredients already in the pan. Add two eggs to each well.

Put the lid on the pan and cook the eggs with the steam from the broccoli. Cook until the egg whites are opaque and cooked through, for about 10 minutes. Add shredded cheddar cheese, put the lid back on, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

Once the cheese is melted, the one-pan dish is just about ready to be devoured! Garnish with chopped scallion or parsley and serve. This one-pan dish is best enjoyed hot. If you are in the mood for even more heat, I would suggest pairing with Tabasco sauce.
