This cheesy fried potato, Canadian bacon and egg scramble is nothing short of a dream.

Potatoes Cheese and Eggs in pan

Sometimes it’s extra delicious when food is served in a single portion skillet.

Like personal size pan pizzas, or sizzling fajitas served in your very own little skillet at a restaurant.

And single skillet servings can be made for breakfast too.

When I’m really hungry for breakfast or brunch I make this potato egg and cheese scramble and it really hits the spot.

You can be creative and add whatever you like to the eggs.
