Sensational Bean and Egg Skillet

Servings: 6  |  Preparation Time: 10 minutes  Cooking Time: 20-25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 medium, red-skinned new potatoes, about 1 1/4 lb (625 g)
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 cup (250 mL) chopped green pepper
  • 1 cup (250 mL) chopped peameal bacon or ham
  • 1 can (398 mL) Heinz maple style beans
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) finely chopped green onion

Directions

Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork. Cook the potatoes in the microwave on high for about 6 minutes, or until fork tender. Cool for 15 minutes. Cut into 3/4-in (2 cm) cubes.

Heat the oil in a skillet set over medium-high heat. Add onion, green pepper and peameal bacon and cook until golden. Stir in potatoes and cook until lightly browned. Stir in the beans and heat until bubbling, stirring often. Reduce the heat to low. Use a spoon to make six hollows in the bean and potato mixture.

Crack an egg into each hollow. Cover the pan tightly with a lid and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until eggs are cooked to preferred doneness. Sprinkle with onion. Serve immediately.

Tips: 1. For a complete breakfast, serve with a slice of whole grain toast and a glass of unsweetened orange juice. 
        2. For a veggie boost, stir in a couple of handfuls of baby spinach or chopped kale before adding the eggs.
        3. For a saucy garnish, serve with a spoonful of chili sauce.
