Golden potatoes, spinach, red pepper and eggs in a German-inspired breakfast skillet — Serving illustration

For 4 servings

What you’ll need

600 g pre-cooked baby potatoes, diced
1 red capsicum, diced small
3 packed cups baby spinach
4 eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 to 2 teaspoons mild sauerkraut per person, optional and served separately

Allergens and labels
Egg. If using sauerkraut, choose a simple product without gluten-containing flavourings.

One step at a time

Let’s make it

Heat olive oil in a wide skillet and sauté diced pre-cooked potatoes and capsicum for 5 minutes until golden at the edges.
Add spinach and sweet paprika and stir for 1 minute.
Make four spaces, crack in the eggs, cover and cook 4 to 5 minutes until set. Finish with parsley; offer sauerkraut separately if wanted.

Times are estimates. Use the doneness checks in the method.

Make the texture work

Keep one portion of plain potato and egg aside before adding spinach and capsicum.

Season it properly

The listed recipe uses gentle family flavours. Keep optional pepper, lemon, herbs or fermented foods separate when that feels more comfortable.

Simple swaps

Keep a familiar food alongside the meal and serve components separately when preferred. Check every substituted packaged ingredient for gluten and casein.

Keep it safely

Cool leftovers promptly, refrigerate, and reheat once until steaming hot throughout. Follow ingredient-pack instructions and local food-safety advice.
