Description

A hearty and delicious breakfast scramble made with crispy potatoes, fluffy eggs, and gooey melted cheese. Perfect for a quick and filling morning meal!


Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes, diced

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

  • 2 green onions, chopped (optional)

 

  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice


Instructions

  • Cook the Potatoes – Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

  • Prepare the Eggs – In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk (if using).

  • Add the Eggs – Reduce the heat to low and pour the eggs over the potatoes. Let them cook for a few seconds, then gently stir until eggs are fully set.

  • Add Cheese – Sprinkle shredded cheese over the scramble and let it melt for about a minute.

 

  • Garnish & Serve – Remove from heat and top with chopped green onions and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot!


Notes

  • Swap out cheddar for mozzarella, pepper jack, or feta for a different flavor.

  • Add cooked bacon, sausage, or veggies like bell peppers and spinach for extra heartiness.

 

  • Serve with toast, avocado, or salsa for a complete meal.
