Breakfast skillet recipe? Mon, 06/22/09 11:09 AM (permalink)
That breakfast skillet on the home page today (66/22) really looks good. Anyone have any ideas on how to make it at home?
 
Thanks for any suggestions!

    I was a kitchen manager for Village Inn in Denver around 85-86  They were one of the first to offer a skillet breakfast.  I was able to have some input in the R&D phase ad I worked with their test kitchen at the Co. headquarters in Denevr.
    They used a metal skillet(the type used for fajitas now).  They would take the southern style(cubes) hash browns that were deep fried crisp and seasoned.  Then it was topped with meat then an egg of choice and varoius sauce.  They had Italian, Mex, rancher and southern.
     My freind used to pig out on the belly buster at TJ's Country Place in Columbus.  The had homefries topped with bacon, ham and sausage.  Topped with your choice of eggs  than was covered with sausage gravy..
    The kind pictured here would be my favorite.
    I would dice up some cooled cooked potato and fry them up with onion til nicely browned.  Just before they browned I'd add a handfull of diced ham, cooked bacon or sausage(maybe all 3)  Then turn on the broiler.  Take a lightly oiled pie tin or cookie sheet(for bigger quantities) and make an even layer of the pot mix.  Next cook your egg as you like it(if you dont like over cooked fried eggs Id pull the egg after it had just set on both sides.   Place your egg on top of the potato and cover with shredded cheddar or jack cheese and place under broiler until the cheese melts and browns.  Use a large spatula and transfer to a plate.  That way makes doing breakfast for a big family a snap.
    One more way would be to scramble off some eggs..  Then do the pot, onion and meat as before and fold the scrambled egg in at the end..  Coat the whole thing with cheese and put under the broiler.

        Thanks very much, Britt! Good information there. I've made Farmer's Breakfast many times where the eggs are mixed in with the potatoes, onions, meat, etc. and cooked until the eggs are done - my eggs have to be scrambled, I don't do runny egg yolks at any time. And I like my sausage gravy over plain biscuits the way nature intended them.

          Michael, we used to eat aroud the corner from you at the TeeJayes on Hamilton.  Its been years and my friend used to call it the belly buster.  Its been 12 years since Ive been in the place.
          He usually brought one to work  in a carryout box.  By that time it was really well mixed!  By the time he got to work, I swore youd need a putty knife to get thru the gravy.  That stuff really tightens up when it cools.  I remember one time when we ate in.  We had an extra bowl of sausage gravy.  You could lift it up with the spoon!. I thought they put meat in with it as an option.

                Farm Country Eggs
                4 slices bacon, crisp
                2 tablespoons butter
                2 cups hash browns
                1/2 cup chopped onion
                1/4 cup chopped green pepper
                6 eggs
                1/4 cup milk
                1/2 teaspoon salt
                1/4 teaspoon basil
                Dash pepper
                1 cup shredded cheddar

                Cook the onion, peppers & hashbrowns.  Mix eggs, milk, salt, pepper & basil and pour over.  Cook stirring occasionally.  When nearly set add cheese & crumbled bacon.   can also be done in the microwave: Place butter, onions, green peppers and hash browns in 1 1/2 quart microwavable casserole dish. Cook uncovered 3 minutes on high; stir, mash down and cook 3 minutes more. In separate bowl mix eggs, milk and seasoning. Pour on top of cooked mixture. Cover and cook at 70 percent power 5-7 minutes or until eggs are set; stir. Sprinkle bacon and cheese on top. Cook 30 - 60 seconds or until cheese melted. Can substitute sausage or ham.
