This Bacon Potato Poblano Breakfast Skillet is a delicious! Bacon, poblano peppers, redskin potatoes and smoky mozzarella cheese served topped with a fried egg!

Nothing makes my heart go pitter-pat more than a drippy-runny yolk.

I love dunking my toast in it and a savory waffle doesn’t need syrup as long as you serve them with an egg on top. But I especially lurve it when it coats cheesy, potato, bacon and poblano hash. Ya feel me?

I had just gotten home from grocery shopping and I was starving. Which reminds me, never go grocery shopping hyped up on coffee and hungry. It usually doesn’t end well. So it was either the two egg rolls from our Chinese dinner the night before or a quick skillet hash topped with egg and all of its runny yolk goodness. Hmmmm deeecicisons.

Re-warmed egg rolls are always an excellent breakfast/lunch option… but obviously, I went the whole egg and hash route and I didn’t look back. (Except at 10pm when I had the munchies.)

Yolk wins me every single time.
