Breakfast Skillet – Delishar | Singapore Cooking, Recipe, and Lifestyle Blog

A good breakfast means a good start to the day, and with a breakfast so colourful, it is hard to not start the day with a smile on your face. This recipe is a great way for using up left over bits and ends of vegetables that’s sitting in your fridge after a week of cooking.

I used my trusty 26cm Le Creuset Cast Iron Skillet to make this gorgeous one pan breakfast. Simply because I can utilize the stovetop to oven cooking without having to wash another pan. Because cast iron retains and distribute heat so well, I can assure that my vegetables will have even browning and lovely crusting as it cooks itself in the skillet.

The cheese acts as a nest to contain the eggs in the middle of the pan. As the cheese hits the hot vegetables, it starts to melt and forms a gooey cheese nest to herd the eggs together. This prevents the egg whites from making it’s way through the little cracks between the vegetable, and going all over the place. Plus, who wouldn’t like gooey baked cheese?!

Spanish Breakfast Hash – Delishar

Starting the day right is important for me, and the best way to start it right is a good breakfast. Recently, I was dinning with my co-workers at a restaurant that serves all day breakfast. On the menu was Spanish hash, which is essentially Chorizo, potatoes, and onions. Served with a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce. The words that got me were hash, and chorizo. I mean, how can it not get to anybody?! What bothered me a bit was the price tag. $25 was pricey. I know, I know, I’m paying for the location blah blah blah. But still it was pricey. Breakfast was good, although I would prefer it to have a little more vegetables and colour.

So I decided to make my own breakfast hash using my 26cm Le Creuset Skillet, which makes a good portion for 4. Check out their current promotions, if you are intending to get one. I’ve had friends asked if the food sticks, because it’s not teflon coated. Well, I wouldn’t use it to fry an egg for the first time. But food generally doesn’t stick due to the black satin enamel coating. I wash with warm water only, no soap and up to now, no problem with food sticking. Plus the more you use it, the pan seasons and creates a non-stick surface. Yes, if you are still wondering, no soap. Warm water is enough to get the residue and grease off the pan. Plus, using soap strips off the seasoning from the pan, which is not what we want.

Spanish Breakfast Hash

So as I was saying, I decided to make my own Spanish hash. Replacing a few elements of the dish to make it slightly healthier. First, I replaced the Hollandaise sauce for diced avocado. Replacing the high fat and high cholesterol sauce for the creamy/buttery good fats. Of course, you can make some Avocado Hollandaise Sauce (recipe for another time). But I was too lazy, and I like biting into little cubes of avocado.

I added a lot more vegetables to make the dish more visually appealing, with the pop of colours. And of course, vegetables are good for you! Since the husband isn’t a big fan of poached eggs, I fried it instead. Trick to a good sunny side up is to sprinkle some water on the underside of the pan cover, then cover it and cook it on low heat. That way the top steams and cook at the same time, and you will get perfect sunny side up eggs. If you have trouble knowing how to pick your avocados, you will find this article helpful.

Breakfast Scrambled Eggs & Spinach on Portobello Bun – Delishar

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I’m sure you have heard that multiple times in your life. To me, breakfast is the meal that I look forward to the most. It is also one of the toughest meal to plan, imo. That’s because it needs to be speedy, nutritious, delicious, and visually appealing. Got to start the day right, am I right? 😀 Here I have a Whole30, Keto, Paleo, and GF compliant breakfast recipe for you.

You can prep the mushroom the night before in order to save some time. However, removing the gills is pretty quick and easy. Just use a spoon to scrape it all out. You can use another heavy pan to press down on the portobello when cooking it on the pan, which helps it cook more evenly. Sprinkle with a touch of smoked paprika or smoked chilli powder for an added depth of flavour.

Scrambled eggs and Spinach on Portobello Bun

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

2 large portabello mushrooms
4 eggs beaten
100 g spinach
¼ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp garlic powder
3 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Pinch of smoked paprika

Remove the stem of the Portobello mushroom. Use a spoon to scrape off the gills, and discard.
Brush on olive oil onto the top and bottom of the Portobello, season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat pan on medium-high heat, and cook Portobello mushroom for 3 minutes on each side until tender.
Wipe pan, and add 2 tsp olive oil over medium heat.
Add spinach, season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, and saute until just wilted.
Add another 2 tsp of olive oil and add in eggs.
Stir continuously until curdled, season with salt and pepper.
Remove from heat when eggs are almost set.
Serve over spinach and Portobello mushroom.
