Fresh Garden Breakfast: Bacon, Eggs, Tomatoes & Tomatillos
The end of the summer season has finally arrived here in Utah and our garden’s production of summer veggies, etc. has stopped. Left with a smattering of tomatoes, tomatillos, and hot peppers I put together this quick breakfast that can be prepared as spicy or savory as you wish. The dish is basically a skillet with an egg sunny side up cooked into a spicy tomato/tomatillo/bacon mixture. It’s light, flavorful, and depending on how much spice you use, a perfect warm up to a brisk fall morning.
Enjoy!
*Be sure to check back in tomorrow for Thursday Thirsty and our review of 8 different Pumpkin beers.
The Necessities:
- Egg(s)
- Bacon (roughly chopped)
- Small heirloom, plum, or cherry tomatoes (halved)
- Tomatillos (quarter)
- Hot pepper(s) (diced)
- Salt and pepper
- Piece of toast or a tortilla
- Fresh chives (finely chopped)
- Non-stick spray
Directions:
- In a frying pan over medium heat cook the bacon half way to desired “doneness.”
- Add the tomatillos to the pan, sprinkle with a light amount of salt, and cook until slightly browned.
- Add the tomatoes and the hot pepper(s). Cook the entire mixture until the tomatoes begin to slightly breakdown.
- Reduce heat to low-medium, spread the mixture evenly over the pan, and spray the top with non-stick spray. Crack your egg(s) over the mixture and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until the whites of the eggs are no longer translucent (if you prefer your egg yolks cooked, then simply scrabble the mixture). Place over toast or a tortilla and top with chives.

This really does look good. Just fresh ingredients, right from the garden, sautéed to perfection with an egg on top. So simple yet I’d eat it every day until the garden has given its all. For me, the perfect breakfast — and post!
Such a fresh, yet hearty breakfast. This looks so delicious. I’m with John–I would eat this every day. That is, if I had a garden in my backyard!
I feel the same way…a great meal for everyday of the week.
Hey Sports! This recipe sounds and looks delicious…. I wish I have the time to have that kind of breakfast during the week, but I think I can give it a try this Sunday… It reminded me the ones I used to have in Panama.
I don’t know why, but lately I haven’t been receiving your posts on my email. I will have to come more often and check if you have posted something new until it starts to work again. Have a nice day you two!
Thanks for the comment and check in…strange about you not receiving the update post in e-mail, but wordpress is a strange beast. Hopefully it gets sorted out soon. Cheers!
Hello, it is fixed. It was actually my fault, I had check the follow button up there in the black bar to the left, but not the one that says “notify me of new post by email”. Anyway now a do get your posts on my email.
Have a nice day!
hey, did you nick my breakfast this morning!?. c
LOL. Maybe, but have you had this with ham steak yet?
I love all the colors and I am sure the flavors were refreshing!
Sigh! I wish I had a garden!
Such a lovely dish, fresh from the garden, I love it. I have these wonderful little personal cast iron square pans, I bet this dish would be fantastic in them! A dollop of yogurt or sour cream would be tasty too and help tame the peppers! I love the heat, though.
You’re absolutely right about a dollop of yogurt or sour cream…an additional amount of cooling flavor to temper the heat!
Great, thanks buddy. The anticipation of Thirsty Thursday is going to keep me up tonight. I will have to make this when I wake up early.
Looks great…can’t say I could go with John, and Caroline on the everyday thing though…Of, course…If I did.. Compost would not be a problem…
Bless You

I’m on a diet right now and there’s a lot of stuff I can’t eat; whenever I come across something that looks this good I celebrate a little bit. Can’t wait to do it!
I would eat this for breakfast, lunch or dinner – perfect combination of ingredients!
This is a great breakfast, very hearty very fulfilling!
