Breakfast, I think, is my favorite meal.  I eat breakfast for lunch, or breakfast for dinner quite often.  So many options!!!   Plus, when you get ten dozen beautiful farm fresh eggs while heading back “home” for the Easter weekend, delicious protein rich breakfast gets to happen a lot!

This recipe is a simple one pan, easy one that is fast to put together and bakes in the oven while you make your morning coffee.  Chorizo is the sausage of choice for this breakfast skillet but you can easily mix it up with any other breakfast sausage too.  I really like how the spice of the chorizo is offset by the sweetness of diced sweet potatoes and red bell peppers.  Dress it up with a bit of chives and cilantro and you have a beautiful rustic breakfast skillet!
