German Pizza

I had completely forgotten about this recipe until Jason reminded me of it last week when I was having a "I have no idea what to cook for dinner" moment at almost 6 at night.  It's so quick and easy and cheap.  It might not be the healthiest thing in the world but it goes great with salad.    This is Jason's moms recipe and it's one of those that I'm not completely sure of the amounts of ingredients- you just kind of have to eyeball it.  I make two for our family- one in my large tefal skillet and one in the smaller one.

First, you slice potatoes (I did three medium sized) into thin rounds (like for home fries).  Also dice onions and peppers.  Put a small amount of oil in the bottom of skillet and heat over medium flame.  Layer the potatoes in the bottom of the pan (2-3 layers) building up slightly around the edges.  This will be the crust.  Sprinkle diced onions and peppers over potatoes.  Cover pan and let cook until potatoes tender and beginning to brown on the bottom (around 10 minutes).

Once the veggies are tender, sprinkle meat of choice on top.  I've been using those healthy choice turkey polish sausages that TSC has.  You can also use lunch meat chopped up like turkey or ham. I think the original recipe called for diced ham.  Anyway, put the meat on.  Then beat eggs for each pan (I think I used 4 in the big  pan and 3 in the small).  Pour beaten eggs over meat then top with shredded cheese (swiss is best).  Put the top back on and let it cook for another 10 minutes or so until the eggs are set.   The potatoes on the very bottom will get pretty brown and crispy like a crust.

I don't put all the veggies on the one for the girls:

You can do all sorts of variations with this especially when it comes to the veggies and meat- different color peppers, mushrooms, various fresh herbs add a nice touch.  Also I've used bacon instead of ham.  Another thing you can do is add more cheese at different layers.  Like sometimes I add cheese between the layers of potatoes.    Enjoy!
