Ingredients
The beauty of one pot breakfast recipes lies in their versatility. With just a few staples, you can create a hearty meal. Here’s what you’ll typically need:
– Eggs: Fresh and free-range if possible. There’s nothing quite like the golden hue of a farm-fresh yolk.
– Potatoes: A nod to those rustic Devon mornings, they add a comforting heft.
– Onion and Garlic: These aromatic essentials lay the flavor foundation.
– Bell Peppers: For a pop of color and sweetness.
– Sausages or Bacon: The savory backbone, reminiscent of my mum’s sizzling breakfasts.
– Cheese: Because a little indulgence never hurt anyone.
– Spinach or Kale: To sneak in some greens, just like mum used to do.
– Salt, Pepper, and, of course, a touch of cinnamon: For that extra layer of warmth.
Instructions
Creating these recipes is as delightful as the result. Here’s a step-by-step guide to crafting your perfect one pot breakfast:
1. **Prepare Your Ingredients:** Dice your potatoes, onions, and bell peppers. Slice the sausages or bacon into bite-sized pieces.
2. **Cook the Protein:** In your trusty pot, cook the sausages or bacon until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the flavorful drippings in the pot.
3. **Sauté the Vegetables:** Toss the onions and garlic into the pot. Sauté until they’re fragrant and translucent, a scent that always brings me back to mum’s kitchen.
4. **Add the Potatoes:** Stir in the potatoes, letting them soak up all those lovely flavors. Cook until they’re tender and golden.
5. **Mix in the Veggies:** Add the bell peppers and greens, cooking until they’re just wilted.
6. **Create Space for Eggs:** Make small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each. Cover the pot and cook until the eggs are done to your liking.
7. **Finish with Cheese and Cinnamon:** Sprinkle with cheese and cover for another minute, just until it melts. A tiny pinch of cinnamon at the end adds that signature warmth.
8. **Serve and Enjoy:** Dish out your creation, savoring each bite of this hearty, nostalgic breakfast.
