No matter how long the holidays, they eventually come to an end. Today, Ro-Taro begins a new semester at college while Ro-Jiro goes back to school. Ro-Ri San started work last week after New Year’s Day and so he goes to work as usual. We have enjoyed the season and time spent together. Now, we must get back to our respective routines.

Breakfast – The Most Important Meal of the Day

As mentioned in my previous post, breakfast is a very important meal at our house. Since this weekend that just passed is the last one of the current holiday season, I decided to make a hot breakfast Sweet Potato, Ham, and Cheese Skillet using leftover ham. I woke up bright and early Saturday morning thinking that I would give myself more time to cook the dish and take the pictures before everyone else woke up. That did not turn out to be the case. The wonderful aroma of sweet potatoes and ham frying in the skillet attracted the attention of the boys and brought them scrambling to the kitchen with, “Mom, what’s for breakfast?”

While they went to get themselves ready, I quickly set the table, brewed the tea, and took a few quick shots before everyone filed into the kitchen. The pictures do not do justice to the dish. We had a GREAT breakfast!

    Biren,
    This look so delicious! I love breakfast skillets because you get to add so many treats into one delicious dish. I can’t wait to try this. We love potatoes but I’ve never tried them in a breakfast skillet before. Pinning 🙂

    Looks delicious! I’m not a huge fan of sweet potatoes. Do you think this would work with red potatoes?

    Looks so good. I like the idea of using sweet potatoes and cinnamon because it plays on the affinity of ham for sweets. Just wondering if a fried egg would go well on top? Or does that make me a glutton? 😉

      That’s what I thought! I added the cinnamon because of the sweet potatoes and ham. Good thing it turned out well. Actually, I would have put in eggs if not for egg sensitivities in the family. Maybe you can give it a try. 🙂

    Well, I can certainly see why you didn’t have a chance to take many photos. It looks scrumptious and when you have hungry growing boys in the house, the food photographer’s subject won’t last long 😀

    Just wanted to say I made this dish with potatoes instead, as I did not have sweet potato on hand. It was so delicious and fast, well received by the kids. This is really a fast dish to whip up when we come back late from work and childminder’s.. I didn’t even mind when my son picked out the peppers. Thank you for a really handy recipe.

    Was really good! I didn’t have green pepper, so I used spinach. The cheese was parmigiana and Asiago. Whole family loved it!
