Prep & Cook Time
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 35 min
Total: 50 min
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 lb ground beef, cooked and crumbled
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
Instructions
Cook the sliced potatoes in lightly salted water until just tender, then drain well and set aside. This ensures a soft texture once baked.
Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook the onion until soft, then add the ground beef and cook until fully browned. Season lightly and set aside.
Arrange the cooked potatoes evenly in a baking dish, then spread the beef mixture over the top so each serving gets a balanced bite.
Whisk the eggs with milk, salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth, then pour the mixture evenly over the potatoes and beef.
Bake until the eggs are fully set and the top looks lightly golden. Let the dish rest briefly before slicing and serving warm.

Variations
Morning-style richness comes from adding a small handful of shredded cheese before baking, allowing it to melt gently into the eggs. This adds a cozy layer, much like the finishing touches in these Southern Biscuits and Gravy that turn a simple breakfast into a full comfort experience.
A lighter breakfast-for-dinner version uses fewer potatoes and adds sautéed vegetables like spinach or peppers for balance. It leans into the fresh approach found in Avocado Toast Recipes where richness meets greens for a well-rounded bite.
Advance prep works well by assembling the dish the night before and baking it fresh in the morning, making it ideal for busy days.
