I’ve never been much of a breakfast person, but in an effort Jules and I have been making to eat better, I’ve determined that a substantial, filling, but not heavy breakfast is important. This quick dish, full of vegetables and protein and made using just one pan, is one of the better things to have come out of my experimentation thus far. And I gotta tell you, I’m very quickly becoming a breakfast person.
I’m not going to tell anyone they should only buy organic, non-GMO, fair trade, grass-fed whatever. I’ll simply tell you this – I feel better when I eat foods I cook myself, from scratch, from real ingredients. “Real” to me is fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meats, and the closer to me it’s produced, the better. You have to define that for you, but I always encourage people to eat things that make them want to do stuff. Food is meant to fuel us, but if everything we eat makes us want to lounge, I think it’s time to make some changes.
The first decision you make every day sets the course for other decisions you make. For many of us, that first decision may be breakfast–this one we make a few times a week. The eggs are velvety, the vegetables are bright and the dish is filling, but not heavy. See below for the full recipe, and be sure to come tell me how it turned out.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]

Oh no! The recipe doesn’t seem to show up anymore! This was a personal favorite… Can you repost the recipe please?!
I made this today for lunch. SO GOOD! Thanks for sharing!
Could you estimate the amount of time it took the eggs to cook to your preferred consistency? Like 10ish minutes and check every 3? I’ve never baked eggs like this so I have no clue.
I have an induction stove so my non-stick pans aren’t compatible… Am I out of luck making this!? (Looks amazing!)
A quality stainless steel pan would probably be ok, with the olive oil and sausage drippings. I prefer the nonstick because it’s sure to scoop out easily, but I’d venture to guess you’ll be fine with a regular pan.
I have an induction stove too (love it!) and I have a Calphalon nonstick pan that works with it. The easiest way to find a pan that works is to take a magnet with you when shopping, if it sticks to the bottom of the pan, it will work with your induction stove!
Try cast iron, Libby ;) This looks so dang good! Gonna try it today with turkey sausage. I love that you guys both write here and enjoy Chris’ recipes and chef’s expertise too. I completely agree with your motto “eat food that makes you want to do stuff”-I’m off to do stuff now. Thanks!
YUM! Can’t wait to try this!
I am imagining this made with goetta…???
That’s a winner idea, right there.
Sounds delicious! Did I miss when the onions get added back in?
Oops! Right before the cheese. :)
This looks DELISH. Ryan and I gotta try this.
Breakfast is my FAVORITE. Mainly because it’s pretty much just an excuse to eat dessert in the morning. Ha! However, I have been looking for some protein packed options and this with the added veggies seems amazing! Can’t wait to give it a try!
