Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 4 large eggs
- 3 cups diced potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Wash and dice potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. Pat the potato cubes dry with a clean kitchen towel to ensure crispy edges during roasting.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread potatoes in a single layer on the sheet pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Crumble breakfast sausage into small pieces and distribute evenly around the potatoes on the sheet pan.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Create four small wells or spaces among the potatoes and sausage for the eggs.
- Carefully crack each egg into the prepared wells, keeping the yolks intact. Sprinkle additional salt and pepper over the eggs.
- Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve hot directly from the sheet pan, ensuring each serving includes sausage, potatoes, and an egg.
Tips
- Choose the Right Sausage: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality breakfast sausage. You can also try spicy or herbed varieties for an extra kick!
- Prep Your Potatoes: Make sure to pat the diced potatoes dry before tossing them with olive oil. This step is crucial for achieving that crispy, golden exterior.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Spread the potatoes and sausage out in a single layer on the sheet pan. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of roasting, preventing that desirable crunch.
- Perfectly Cooked Eggs: For runny yolks, keep an eye on the eggs during the last few minutes of baking. If you prefer them firmer, leave them in a bit longer.
- Garnish for Flavor: Fresh parsley not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the dish’s flavor. Feel free to experiment with other herbs like chives or cilantro for a unique twist!
- Meal Prep Friendly: This recipe is great for meal prep! Cook a batch on the weekend and reheat individual portions throughout the week for a quick breakfast option.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for an extra nutritional boost and more color on your plate.
