Open in Pepper →Breakfast for dinner is the most forgiving meal in the rotation — everyone eats eggs, pancakes are cheap, and the fridge is usually already stocked.
Cooks on Pepper turn to this collection on the weeknights nobody wants to think about dinner — kids love it, adults love it, and the whole thing wraps in one skillet.
Every recipe here works as an actual dinner: substantial enough to fill a plate, savory enough to satisfy, and quick enough that nobody's waiting past 7.
Cast iron for everything
Pancakes, hash, frittatas — cast iron gives the crust that a nonstick can't.
Add a protein
Bacon, sausage, or leftover chicken in the hash makes it dinner instead of a snack.
Room-temp eggs
Cold eggs from the fridge scramble tough — 15 minutes on the counter first.
Batch the pancakes
Keep a warm oven at 200°F — pancakes stay hot while you finish the stack.
