Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
In the vein of "three strikes and your out," I've had a post written three times, deleting it each time. So instead, enjoy this tasty morning egg skillet. The temperature went from 50˚ to 7˚ in Illinois with the chance of impending snow/ice later this week. I think I'll be whipping up a few of these to keep me warm and toasty.

I love one-pot/skillet recipes like this. Plus anything with a runny egg on it is a winner.

Looks like you are on a sweet potato rush 🙂 The temperature dropped down this side too, out of no where from sunny to rainy! Lovely dish. Uncomplicated and comforting.

I recently bought a lovely cast iron skillet and have yet to use it.. This looks good enough to be the first meal in it.

This looks fantastic. I've been hoarding a log of goat cheese for a while now, and I think this recipe is the perfect way to use it. This is just the kind of comfort food I'm craving as blustery days combine with frigid temperatures.

This recipe is fantastic! Thank you for sharing it!
I've been adding garlic instead of turmeric and paprika and kale instead of goat cheese, mostly because that's what I have in the house 🙂 I've made this a couple times and my husband, who has never been fond of poached eggs really enjoys it as well.

This was awesome! I used cumin and masala in place of tumeric, and added a few thinly sliced cloves of garlic. Also, I did the eggs fritata style below the potatoes, but with the goat cheese and cilantro on top. Awesomes!

I made this for brunch today and it was spectacular! I did add some hot ground pork sausage to amp up the protein/calories since i was serving it for brunch. And I omitted the turmeric, only because I didn't have any.
I will definitely be adding this into my breakfast/brunch rotation.

I will admit, I was skeptical about this dish, but I had everything on hand to make it and.....it was absolutely delish! Loved the combination of flavors, everything worked so well together. For the spices I used cumin, garam masala, and smokey paprika. Loved it!

I was a little hesitant to try this, but I (and my husband!) am so glad that I did! It was spectacular! My one question is this: Is there any way to cook the eggs like this while keeping the yokes runny? Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Very good. There used to be a recipe on your site just like this but it was baked. I think I might like that one better but I couldn't find it.
