3-Ingredient Breakfast Skillet
Make this super easy 3-Ingredient Breakfast Skillet! Features ground beef, salsa, and eggs cooked in one pan for a quick, protein-packed meal.
Ingredients
Here’s the complete list of ingredients, with precise measurements:
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup salsa sauce (Choose your favorite kind and heat level)
- 6 medium eggs
Optional Garnish:
- Chopped green onion
(Note: While the title says “3-Ingredient,” olive oil, ground beef, salsa, and eggs are the 4 primary components. The title likely refers to the core flavor elements after cooking the beef.)
These quantities make a hearty skillet, likely serving 3-4 people depending on appetite.
Instructions
Let’s walk through this incredibly simple process:
1. Heat Oil and Brown Beef: Take out a large skillet. Add the olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef to the hot skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat if desired. (Season the beef with salt and pepper while browning for best flavor).
2. Add Salsa: Stir the salsa sauce into the browned ground beef. Let it cook together for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the salsa to heat through.
3. Add Eggs: Using the back of your spoon, make small wells in the beef and salsa mixture. Carefully crack the eggs directly into these wells, spacing them evenly around the skillet.
4. Cover and Cook Eggs: Cover the skillet with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low or low (enough to gently cook the eggs without scorching the bottom). Let the eggs cook for around 6-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks are cooked to your desired level of runniness.
5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the lid. Garnish with chopped green onion, if you fancy. Serve hot, directly from the skillet or spooned onto plates.
