Then several garden veggies including broccoli, bell peppers and mushrooms are spread over top. This is topped with two sunny-side-up eggs before serving. It combines for a hearty, filling and completely satisfying meal for weekend, company or holiday breakfasts. This gluten free version is also vegetarian.

Instructions
 

  • In a non-stick skillet or griddle, melt one tablespoon butter.
  • Add onion and bell peppers and cook about two to three minutes.
  • Add mushrooms, tomatoes and broccoli.
  • Saute veggies about 5-7 minutes longer until tender.
  • Set aside.

  • Place in a 350° oven for 5 to 7 minutes to melt the cheeses.
  • For microwave method: Layer potatoes, both cheeses and veggies in a glass serving dish or glass pie plate.
  • Right before the eggs are done, microwave on high about one minute or until cheeses melt.

Notes

NOTE: If you’re on a time crunch, it is easier to prepare the veggies and hash browns in advance. Then add as needed and heat as described above. If ingredients are cold from the refrigerator, you may need to add additional time to heat through before adding the eggs on top.
 
NOTE: I recommend using either a non-stick skillet or griddle for this recipe. If you try to make more than one serving, it is easier to pre-cook the potatoes and veggies.
 
NOTE: Since this recipe is quite involved, I highly recommend you read through the directions and follow my step-by-step pictures in this post to get the best results.
 
NOTE: My potatoes were frozen. If your potatoes are thawed, they won't take quite as long to cook.
 
NOTE:  This is enough for one very hearty appetite. You may find that you get two servings out of each skillet, instead one merely one.
