Breakfast in a Skillet ~ {Recipe}

A couple of months ago, I was in London, Ont., visiting with my son.  While there,  a friend of his mentioned a Breakfast Skillet recipe she makes and how delicious it was.  It sounded like something our family would really enjoy so I asked if she would mind sharing the recipe, as I wanted give it a try.

She sent me the recipe and we have now made it a couple of times; it is so delicious! It is also very simple and a little different from the regular Breakfast Bakes, in fact, this may be our new go to recipe for Christmas breakfast.

The following is an adaptation of Veronica’s recipe.  If you were having more than four people for breakfast, you could easily double this and make in two baking dishes or one larger pan.

    That looks fantastic! And your son lives here in my hometown? That’s nice – it’s a great city to live in.

  7. Wow, that looks so good and easy. I especially love the short ingredient list. Too many recipes out there calling for a hundred and one items, breaking the bank. Great share!
