Directions

Prep 12 minCook 38 min

1
Cook the bacon pieces in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-low heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2
Ensure there is enough rendered bacon fat to coat the skillet bottom, about 1/8 inch deep. Add more fat if needed.
3
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
4
Increase heat to medium-high, add diced sweet potatoes to the skillet, and cook without stirring until golden brown. Stir and cook until slightly softened.
5
Increase heat to high, add zucchini, onion, and bell pepper, and cook until vegetables start to soften.
6
Stir in the bacon pieces and remove from heat.
7
Make wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each. Bake in the oven for 9-14 minutes until eggs are set. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
