# Tips from hearthlykitchen:
01 -
- Everything cooks in one skillet except the eggs, so cleanup is almost nonexistent
- The spice blend hits that perfect sweet spot where it wakes you up without overwhelming your morning taste buds
02 -
- The spiced bean mixture holds up beautifully for meal prep, so make a double batch and keep it in the fridge for quick breakfasts throughout the week
- Overcooking the vegetables makes them lose their texture, so keep an eye on them and remove from heat when they're just softened
03 -
- If you're making these for a group, cook all the components first and keep everything warm in the oven at 200°F while you finish the eggs
- The key is having all your toppings prepped before you start cooking, because everything comes together quickly once you hit the stove
