Ham & Cheese Skillet

Sundays for us usually meant breakfast at a local restaurant, but as of late, we've been having breakfast at home. One of my husband's favorite breakfast meals is a skillet with hash browns, cheese, veggies, some kind of meat and eggs on the top.  So I decided I could make my own.  He has an appetite for 2 and I did have leftovers.

Ham & Cheese Skillet
A Hudocks to Haddocks Original Recipe
Yields: 5 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 large potato (or 2-3 small potatoes), peeled and diced
• 1/8 cup of vegetable oil
• 2 small onion, diced
• 1 large green pepper, seeded and diced
• 1 lb ham of the bone
• 5 eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese
• Seasoned salt
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, heat oil and add in potatoes, onion and green pepper.  Cover and allow to cook over medium heat until potatoes become soft and brown (around 10 minutes)
2. In another skillet, spray with non-stick spray and sear ham for about 4 minutes on each side.  Remove from heat and cut into bite-sized pieces
3. In another skillet, prepare eggs (we like ours over easy or sunshine side)
4. Add ham and cheese to potato mix, mix well.
5. Place eggs over potato mix and serve immediately.

Stuffed French Toast

Apparently I just like to stuff things, haha!  I made up this recipe for our weekend getaway and it was pretty good!  I never really make breakfast because the only day we eat it together is on Sundays and we usually go out, but I wanted to try something different for this trip.

• 2 slices of italian bread (use a bit thicker loaf, not a baguette or anything)
• 6 tbs cream cheese (I did not measure)
• 2-4 strawberries, sliced
• 1 banana, sliced
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tbs vanilla
• 1 tsp cinnamon (I didn't measure, I just add to flavor)

Mix together eggs, vanilla & cinnamon.

Cut a pouch in the side middle of the Italian bread.  Coat both side with cream cheese and insert fruit.  I did one with strawberries only and the other with bananas only.  Close together as tightly as it will allow.

Dip into egg mixture & fry until golden brown.
