One skillet, one pan, and sheet pan recipes have become extremely popular as a way to get out of the kitchen quickly with a healthy meal on the table.
When it comes to my all-time favorite non-stick pan to make this easy meal, it's an inexpensive cast iron skillet. It's the best there is when it comes to non-stick surfaces.
I buy frozen hashbrowns from the local grocery store. I can't fathom spending my precious after work cooking time shredding or dicing potatoes when someone else will do it for me.
After I tossed the potatoes with a Mexican seasoning blend, I fried them to a golden brown, then shoved them aside to scramble the eggs. See? One skillet and this healthy breakfast or quick dinner is ready to go with a sprinkle of cilantro.
We topped our hashbrowns and eggs with sliced avocado, salsa, and crumbles of queso fresco, or at least Mike did. I was happy with a spoonful of salsa. Either way, extras or not, this is a one skillet recipe you'll want to keep in your collection. It can be twisted up so many ways to make a fantastic meal.
Shake It Up!Try Italian seasoning with crumbles of cooked bacon or salty ham and sprinkles of parmesan cheese for a savory breakfast.
