Snip up about a half a pound of bacon and cook it in a skillet until crispy.

Prep onions, sweet peppers, and Yukon Gold potatoes for the frittata and hash browns.

Dice onions and sweet peppers into small pieces for the frittata.

Reserve some diced onions for the hash browns.

Cook bacon in the skillet until crispy, then reduce heat to medium.

Grate sharp cheddar cheese to add to the frittata mixture.

Dice Yukon Gold and russet potatoes into small pieces for quicker cooking.

Once bacon is cooked, add in the diced onions, sweet peppers, and eight pre-cooked sausage patties to the skillet.

Cook the vegetables and sausage until heated through and combined.

Make the custard base for the French toast by whisking together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar.

Dip slices of sourdough bread into the custard mixture and let them soak briefly.

Heat butter in a griddle over medium heat until melted and bubbling.

Cook the soaked sourdough bread on the griddle until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove cooked French toast from the griddle and keep warm if needed.

Serve hot, drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar.
