In the annals of breakfast history, the breakfast skillet stands as a testament to the power of simplicity. This humble dish, consisting of eggs cooked in a skillet with various vegetables and meats, has been a staple of diners and home kitchens for generations. While the origins of the breakfast skillet are lost to time, its enduring popularity is a testament to its versatility and deliciousness. Our zucchini and bell pepper breakfast skillet is a modern take on this classic dish. We've used zucchini and bell peppers as our base vegetables, but you can easily substitute other vegetables, such as mushrooms, onions, or tomatoes. The key is to use vegetables that are in season and that you enjoy eating. The secret to a great breakfast skillet is to cook the vegetables until they are tender and slightly browned. This brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. We also add a bit of salt and pepper to taste, but you can adjust the seasonings to your liking. Once the vegetables are cooked, we add eggs to the skillet and cook them until they are set. We like our eggs over easy, but you can cook them to your desired doneness. The zucchini and bell pepper breakfast skillet is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables.
