Instructions

Heat olive oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the potatoes.
Cook potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and tender on the inside.
Sauté onion and bell pepper: Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften and develop flavor.
Add spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts and blends into the vegetable mix.
Create wells and add eggs: Using a spoon, create 4 wells in the vegetable mixture, then carefully crack one egg into each well.
Cook eggs: Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny for a perfect consistency.
Add cheese: Sprinkle the optional shredded cheese evenly over the skillet, cover again and cook for an additional minute to melt the cheese.
Season and garnish: Season the skillet with paprika, salt, and pepper to taste, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For firmer yolks, cook the eggs a bit longer with the lid on.
You can substitute potatoes with sweet potatoes for a different flavor.
Use any cheese you prefer, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack.
Add cooked breakfast sausage or bacon for a non-vegetarian option.
Serve with toast or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
