This One-Skillet Breakfast Meal is gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free and Paleo. It may be free of all of the above but it isn’t free of flavor and fits in perfectly with many family’s dietary restrictions. But best of all it is an easy, healthy breakfast for those busy weekday mornings.
It is filled with sauteed veggies and fried eggs, a great way to start the day, especially on a weekday.
Yes, that’s all great but the best thing about this dish it is how fast this easy, healthy breakfast is to make.
I don’t know about you but our weekday mornings are pretty hectic and no matter how early I get up (you can find out why I like to get up before my family in this article) it seems we are always rushing out the door.
Which is usually due to a last minute wardrobe change, a forgotten sweater, water bottle, gym clothes – the list of possible reasons is endless.
Side note: I actually saw a family who had a checksheet posted on their front door that listed the items that each child needed in their bag before they left the house. Brillant! I’ll have to get on that because I think it is a great idea.
Back to this easy healthy breakfast…

For us, in our household, the point of breakfast is to fuel the body for the day which means a meal that contains protein, fat, vegetables.
Side note: If your family or kids start the day off with traditional cereal, waffles, muffins, pancakes but want to start making a change to more nutrient-dense foods, read my article 5 Ways to Start Getting Your Kids to Eat Healthy Food for some tips.
