What you’ll love about this recipe:

LESS CLEANUP – Cooking this recipe on the stove and in the oven would require several pots and pans, but the Ninja Speedi cooks it all in one pot! This means a lot less cleanup and a lot less time in the kitchen.
HEALTHY – This recipe has loads of vegetables. It still has adequate protein, but the vegetables are definitely the focus. It’s also low carb and can be customized to fit into a keto lifestyle, too. See the tips below for how to make it keto-friendly.
FAST & EASY – Once the vegetables are chopped and everything is in the cooking pot, you can start the unit and walk away. You only have to come back once to stir the vegetables and add the eggs. So much easier than managing several pans on the stove at once!

Substitutions

Sweet potatoes I love making breakfast bowls and skillets with sweet potatoes, not only because they are delicious, but they are lower in carbs than white potatoes. But any potato would work in this recipe. Try white ones, or Yukon Gold potatoes. Other sweet potato varieties could work also.

Vegetables If you’re not a fan of peppers and onions, or maybe you just don’t have any on hand, feel free to use other vegetables in this recipe. It’s a great opportunity to use leftover produce from other recipes. I’ve made this skillet with mushrooms and zucchini, and it was delicious. Get creative! Cherry tomatoes, olives, spinach, broccoli are just a few suggestions.

Seasoned salt Confession: I don’t typically use seasoned salt in this recipe, but it complements the ingredients beautifully. I usually use a custom spice blend I created years ago that tastes delicious on eggs. So use whatever your favorite seasoning is. A few suggestions are Italian seasoning, Cajun seasoning, and Old Bay seasoning.

Sausage links and bacon I always think of a breakfast skillet as a hardy meal with everything thrown in, hence the double meat. But you could stick with just one, bacon or sausage. And yes, you can use sausage patties instead of links. You could even try another protein altogether like smoked sausage, bratwurst, andouille, or chorizo. There are several flavors of chicken sausage also.

Tips for Making Ninja Speedi Breakfast Skillet

Is the poaching pan necessary? You may have noticed I listed the egg poaching pan as optional in the kitchen gear list. I use one because I do not like my eggs running through and sticking to all the veggies. I like my egg sitting on top of the bowl when it’s served. If you’re less picky than me, feel free to make a well in the veggies and crack the eggs into them. But if you want to give it a try, I put a link in the equipment section above.

Make it keto The potatoes are a bit high in carbs, so this isn’t really considered a keto recipe, although it is low carb. If you are strictly keto but still want that “potato” experience, you could lower the carb count by substituting rutabagas for the potatoes and reducing the amount of peppers to no more than 1 cup. This should bring the net carbs to under 20 grams per serving. You could also substitute other “keto” vegetables for the potatoes, like zucchini or broccoli.

Make it vegetarian Most of my meals are vegetarian, and this recipe is easily customized for that way of eating. Simply leave out the meat! Or you could use any vegetarian/vegan meat substitute in place of the sausage and bacon. There are many, many products out there, so try a new one or use your favorite.

Avoid mushy potatoes If your potatoes are coming out over-cooked, it could be for a few reasons. They may be diced too small, or it could be the kind of potato. For instance, Yukon Gold potatoes are a softer potato, so they’ll cook faster. To offset this, you could cut larger pieces or you could add them to the pot later. Conversely, there are some potatoes and other vegetables that are denser, so you may need to cut them into smaller pieces so they are fully cooked when the unit shuts off.

Toppings

This recipe is a perfect meal as written, but remember, I like a breakfast skillet with everything! So here are my usual toppings, but feel free to use what you like.

sliced green onions
salsa
chopped fresh parsley
crema or sour cream
cheese – shredded cheddar, queso fresco, pepper jack
