Welcome to my kitchen, I'm Bethany, and today I'm making my family's favorite breakfast egg bake.

Get your vegetables ready. I'm using a 12-inch cast iron skillet to sauté and bake everything.

Dice 2/3 of a medium yellow onion and add it to the skillet with a little bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt.

Sauté the onion until softened, then add 1/2 cup of finely diced bell pepper and mix together.

While the peppers and onions cook, clean off some mushrooms with a paper towel and chop about 1 cup of them to add to the skillet.

Add a pinch of salt to the mushrooms and stir them in with the onions and peppers.

Next, prepare 1 heaping cup of broccoli by cutting it into small pieces and add it to the skillet.

Add 3 tablespoons of finely minced fresh basil to the vegetables and stir.

Fold in 1 1/2 cups of fresh spinach until it wilts slightly, then turn off the heat.

Boil a few small yellow potatoes until soft, then chop them into bite-sized chunks.

Season the potatoes with a little olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.

Add the seasoned potatoes to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables and mix together.

Crack 8 eggs into a bowl and add 1-2 tablespoons of water to make them fluffy, then whisk until combined.

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and stir to combine everything evenly.

Grate sharp cheddar cheese and add it to the mixture, stirring to incorporate.
