Chefs share five restaurant chains known for hearty breakfast skillets. <\/p>\n

There are so many delicious things to love about breakfast skillets, and one is the variety. From leftover vegetables to your favorite protein and cheese, you can swap ingredients based on what\u2019s in your fridge. But on days when you don\u2019t feel like cooking, there are chains that do breakfast skillets right and these are the best five spots to enjoy, according to Eva Filer, home chef, recipe developer, and food blogger at My Rad Kitchen.<\/p>\n

Denny\u2019s takes the breakfast skillet in a Southwestern direction, pairing familiar breakfast staples with bolder flavors and plenty of savory ingredients.<\/p>\n

\u201cDenny\u2019s Santa Fe Skillet layers seasoned red-skinned potatoes with chorizo, fire-roasted bell peppers and onions, mushrooms, and cheddar cheese before topping everything with eggs,\u201d Filer explains. \u201cThe chorizo brings plenty of savory spice, while the vegetables and potatoes balance the richness and give you different flavors and textures in every bite.\u201d<\/p>\n

At Bob Evans, the breakfast skillet leans into the restaurant\u2019s farmhouse-inspired menu, bringing classic comfort-food flavors together in one dish.<\/p>\n

\u201cBob Evans\u2019 Sunshine Skillet combines eggs, sausage, home fries, cheddar cheese, and country gravy for a hearty take on a classic farmhouse breakfast,\u201d says Filer. \u201cThe gravy ties everything together, while the potatoes and sausage add enough texture and savory flavor to stand up to the creamy, cheesy elements.\u201d<\/p>\n
