Breakfast Skillet

My 16-year-old son is a football player, so he needs a lot of protein and calories to get through the rigorous practices and games.  I especially want him to have a good breakfast, as carbs seem to make him a little "foggy-brained".  It's not good to have a foggy brain at school, or any time, for that matter!!  

So I came up with something that is quick, easy, and packed with protein: Breakfast Skillet.  I think Denny's restaurant used to advertise something like it.

Breakfast Skillet

1/2 tablespoon butter

3 eggs

Dash of salt

Dash of pepper

2 tablespoons milk

Real bacon bits OR cooked sausage OR chopped ham

Cheddar Cheese

Melt butter in small skillet over medium heat.  Break eggs into skillet and add milk.  Stir.  Cook on medium until eggs are done, stirring often.  Add meat and cheese.  Stir until warmed.  Serve.

Of course, if you want to you can serve this in a tortilla or on toast, but it's perfectly tasty just out of the skillet.  And serving out of the skillet is one less serving plate to wash!
