Leftovers (if any) are awesome, and may be eaten either warm or cold. Makes a great breakfast wrap, too. Serve with some fresh fruit and your favorite beverage for a delicious breakfast, lunch or supper.

HEARTY GERMAN FARMER'S BREAKFAST (BAUERNFRUHSTUCK)



Hearty German Farmer's Breakfast (Bauernfruhstuck) image

Great hearty rib-sticking meal for breakfast, lunch or supper! Very popular in my household. This is a versatile one-pan recipe-- you can sub or add ingredients as desired-- try ham, mushrooms, tomatoes, or chives. (Note: For an equally delicious simplified version of Bauernfruhstuck using frozen Potatoes O'Brien, please see my recipe #278230). Delicious! P.S. Any leftovers you have make a wonderful breakfast the next day--reheat a few seconds in the microwave (although I've been known to eat this cold), and serve with toast or stuff into a flour tortilla for a quick breakfast on-the-go.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 slices bacon, diced
3 large potatoes, cooked and cubed (slightly undercooked)
1 small green pepper, diced
2 tablespoons onions, chopped
salt and pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
6 eggs
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • In a skillet over low heat, cook bacon until crisp. Remove to paper towel. Reserve 2 tablespoons drippings; add potatoes, green pepper, onion, salt and pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat until the potatoes are golden brown.
  • Stir in eggs and milk, and cook and stir until eggs are almost set, about 2 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low. Add cheese and bacon, stirring gently until heated through and eggs are set.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Leftovers are tasty the following day. Good wrapped in a flour tortilla for a breakfast burrito, breakfast on the go.
  • Serves 4 to 6.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or non-stick pan. This will help prevent the omelet from sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • Heat the pan over medium heat before adding the butter or oil. This will help prevent the butter from burning and the omelet from sticking.
  • Whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined. This will help create a smooth and fluffy omelet.
  • Add the fillings to the omelet just before it is done cooking. This will help prevent them from overcooking.
  • Fold the omelet in half or quarters before serving. This will make it easier to eat and will also help keep the fillings inside.

Conclusion:

The Bauernfrühstück is a hearty and satisfying German omelet that is perfect for a weekend brunch or a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is made with eggs, milk, and a variety of fillings, such as potatoes, bacon, onions, and cheese. The omelet is then cooked in a pan until it is golden brown and fluffy. The Bauernfrühstück is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is also a great way to use up leftover ingredients.
