  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Servings: 2
  • Calories: 572.6 per serving

Ingredients

  • 2 baking potatoes, cubed with skins on
  • 8 brown and serve sausages
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 onion, diced
  • 1/4 green pepper, diced
  • 1 tsp adobo seasoning
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients:

    • Start by cutting the baking potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes, leaving the skins on for added texture and nutrition.
  2. Sauté Vegetables:

    • In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté the diced onions and green peppers for 4-5 minutes until they soften and begin to brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook Sausages:

    • In the same skillet, cook the brown and serve sausages according to package instructions until they are browned and cooked through. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside with the sautéed vegetables.
  4. Fry Potatoes:

    • Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out in an even layer. Fry on one side for about 5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and fry on the other side for an additional 3 minutes until crispy and cooked through.
  5. Combine Ingredients:

    • Return the sautéed vegetables and cooked sausages to the skillet with the potatoes. Mix everything together gently.
  6. Prepare Eggs:

    • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and adobo seasoning until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the skillet, stirring gently as the eggs begin to cook.
  7. Add Cheese:

    • Once the eggs start to set, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture in the skillet. Stir gently a few times to incorporate the cheese.
  8. Finish and Serve:

    • Remove the skillet from the heat when the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese is melted. The dish should be hot and ready to serve immediately.
  9. Serve Warm:

    • Bauernfrühstück is traditionally served hot and pairs well with fresh bread or toast on the side. Enjoy this comforting and substantial breakfast dish!

Notes

  • Adobo Seasoning: If you don’t have adobo seasoning, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of garlic salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper for a similar flavor profile.
