These easy Apple Turnovers are filled with a sweet apple filling inside store-bought puff pastry sheets and drizzled with a luscious maple glaze. It’s like apple pie wrapped up in a flaky, buttery pocket of goodness!

Can’t get enough apple desserts? Then, you have to try this Apple Fritter Cake, Cinnamon Apple Bread, and Apple Crumble Pie!

Apple Turnovers are like apple pie in handheld form and are way easier than they look!

All you have to do is make a homemade apple filling with fresh apples, butter, sugar, cinnamon, and a cornstarch slurry to thicken it. 

You’ll spoon the filling into sliced store-bought puff pastry sheets, bake, and you’re done! You get the gooey apple pie filling and flaky crust all in one bite.

Since the pastry is buttery, like a pie crust, I like to make a maple glaze to add a little extra sweetness! Plus, any maple + apple combo is always a win in my book.

Why we love these homemade Apple Turnovers:

• Gooey apple pie filling: This recipe makes a homemade filling that tastes just like apple pie!
• Simple ingredients: This recipe comes together with a few basic ingredients and even uses store-bought pastry sheets to make things easier. 
• Make-ahead friendly: You can assemble the turnovers and then freeze them before baking. When you’re ready to eat them, just pop them in the oven for a quick treat!

Easy Apple Turnover recipe ingredients:

• Salted butter: Used for sautéing the apples and creating a rich, buttery flavor. If you need a dairy-free version, you can swap it for margarine or coconut oil.
• Firm baking apples: Choose firm apples that can hold up to cooking. Granny Smith apples are tart and work well in most apple desserts!
• Sugar: Since we’re using tart apples like Granny Smith, granulated and dark brown sugar help to sweeten the filling. You can swap the dark brown sugar with light brown sugar if needed!
• Ground cinnamon: A classic spice that adds that warm fall feel! Feel free to add extra spices like nutmeg or allspice if you like it more spiced.
• Cornstarch: Mixed with water to thicken the apple mixture to prevent it from being runny inside the pastry.
• Puff pastry: The flaky, buttery pastry that gives the turnovers their signature light and crispy texture. I use a store-bought puff pastry because it’s easier, but you can totally make a homemade puff pastry if you like!
• Egg: Mixed with water to create an egg wash to brush over the top of each turnover for a flaky texture and golden brown sheen.
• Powdered sugar and maple syrup: This is for the sweet glaze that goes on top of the turnovers. I highly recommend using pure maple syrup for the best flavor! If you don’t want maple flavor, just swap it with regular milk.

How to make puff pastry Apple Turnovers:

These Apple Turnovers may look fancy, but they’re super easy to make! Make sure to check the recipe card for the full list of instructions!

• Melt butter in a medium saucepan, then add chopped apples, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
• Cook until apples are soft and the mixture has thickened.

• Drop a spoonful of the apple mixture into the center of each square of puff pastry.
• Bake until golden brown.

Variations and Substitutions

• Caramel sauce: If you don’t want to make the maple glaze, you can swap it for store-bought or homemade caramel sauce!
• Powdered sugar: If you like to keep things simple, you can do a simple dusting of powdered sugar on top of the warm turnovers. 

How to store Apple Turnovers:

Store leftover Apple Turnovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate them for up to 5 days. Place on a piece of paper towel so they don’t get soggy.

You can also pop them in the freezer for up to 3 months! Just let them thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. 

Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to bring back that crispy texture.

Make-ahead option:

If you want to make Apple Turnovers ahead of time, it’s super easy! 

Prepare the apple filling and assembling the turnovers as usual, but don’t add the egg wash yet.

Place the turnovers on a baking sheet and flash-freeze until frozen. Once frozen, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 months. 

When you’re ready to bake, take them out of the freezer and bake as usual, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed!

Ingredients

Apple Filling

• ¼ cup salted butter
• 4 firm baking apples peeled and chopped
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon corn starch
• 1 teaspoon water

Apple Turnovers

• 2 sheets puff pastry (about 454 grams or 1lb) thawed if frozen
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Maple Glaze

• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup divided

Instructions

Apple Filling

• In a heavy bottom pan over medium heat, melt the butter.
• Add the peeled, chopped apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
• Cook until apples are softened, about 6-10 minutes (depending on how thick they are chopped).
• Stir together corn starch and water and add to the pan while the apples are simmering. Cook for 1-2 minutes to thicken.
• Set aside to cool at least 20 minutes (you can speed this up in the refrigerator).

Apple Turnovers

• Roll out puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface, into a 12" by 12" square.
• Cut into 4 even squares, trimming as necessary.
• Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of apples into the middle of each square, then dampen your finger and run it along the edge (this helps it to seal completely). Fold in half diagonally, press to close and crimp the edges with a fork.
• Place on two parchment-lined baking sheets, cut two slits in the top of each turnover, and place in the refrigerator while you preheat the oven.
• Preheat the oven to 400℉.
• In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water and brush over the tops of the turnovers. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden on the outside.

Maple Glaze

• Whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Add just enough maple syrup so that a glaze comes together and drizzle over the warm turnovers before serving.

Notes

Ingredients and Substitutions:

Apples: any firm baking apple will work, but I prefer to use Granny Smith.

Butter: you can swap the butter for vegan margarine, or your cooking fat of choice (if using oil, reduce to 1-2 tablespoons).

Cinnamon: you can leave this out or add in additional warm fall spices.

Maple glaze: if you don’t like maple, you can swap the syrup for milk.

*You can cut each puff pastry sheet into 9 and make smaller turnovers if desired.

When it’s cold outside, there’s nothing better than waking up to a warm bowl of Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal!

It’s made with creamy oats topped with the sweet flavor of apples and a drizzle of maple syrup for a cozy breakfast you’ll want all year round, especially during the fall season.

Whether I’m running out the door or I’m craving something quick and comforting, I always make a big batch so I can enjoy it for meal prep throughout the week. It’s the perfect grab-and-go breakfast!

Breakfast doesn’t have to be hard! Meal prep these easy breakfast recipes to get you through the week: Our Favorite Breakfast Burritos, Crockpot Breakfast Casserole, and Sheet Pan Pancakes!

Why we love this easy Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal:

• Customizable: Add in extra spices, use a different type of fruit, or add in nuts or raisins to make it your own.
• Quick: In 20 minutes, you can whip up this homemade Apple Oatmeal recipe, so it’s great for busy mornings!
• Nostalgic: If you grew up on those Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal packets as a kid, you will love this healthier version. 

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Ingredients:

• Apple: Choose a firm, sweet-tart apple like Honeycrisp or Gala for the best texture and flavor. If you prefer a more tart apple, you can use Granny Smith!
• Butter or vegan margarine: Use butter for a richer flavor or a vegan margarine if you’re going dairy-free. Both will help cook the apples and create a smooth, flavorful base.
• Ground cinnamon: The warm spice that gives the oatmeal a cozy fall flavor. A must-have for apple-based recipes!
• Ground ginger or nutmeg (optional): Adds an extra layer of fall spice. Nutmeg gives a warm, aromatic depth, while ginger offers a bit of heat and warmth. Use sparingly!
• Water: The base for cooking the oats. You can substitute water with almond milk or another plant-based milk for added creaminess.
• Rolled oats: I like the heartier texture of regular large flake oats or rolled oats, but instant or quick oats would work as well. You can use them interchangeably in this recipe. Make sure to grab certified gluten-free oats if you need!
• Maple syrup or other sweetener: Maple syrup adds a natural sweetness with a hint of caramel flavor. You can swap it for any sweetener you prefer, such as brown sugar, honey or agave syrup.
• Vanilla extract: Adds a depth of flavor.

How to make Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal:

20 minutes is all it takes to make this Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal! Make sure to check the recipe card for the full list of recipe instructions.

• Cook the chopped apples until they are tender-crisp.
• Add water, oats, and spices to the saucepan and cook.

• Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup and vanilla.
• Serve warm.

Variations and Substitutions:

• Fruit swap: A lot of different fruits would work great in this recipe. Canned peaches or pears would eliminate the need to cook the apples and get breakfast on the table sooner, and any frozen fruit or fresh berries would be great as well!
• Honey: If you prefer honey over maple syrup (or another sweetener), you can use that as well. I use maple syrup or brown sugar because it pairs great with apples and makes this recipe vegan.
• Toppings: Feel free to add your favorite toppings like chia seeds, a drizzle of peanut butter, chopped nuts, or anything else you like!

How to store leftovers:

Store any leftover oatmeal in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Let it cool completely before refrigerating to preserve texture.

Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water or milk to loosen up the oats. Stir well and heat until warm.

Serving suggestions:

Although we’d never turn down a warm bowl of oatmeal, you can absolutely bulk up this breakfast with a few more dishes! 

If you’re already meal-prepping the oatmeal, you might as well tag along these Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole or Easy Instant Pot Egg Bites! 

Want to keep things classic? You can’t go wrong with a side of Air Fryer Bacon or eggs any way you like them. 

And if you need something to wake you up, make a Cold Brew Coffee or Easy White Chocolate Mocha!

Whether it’s a Strawberry Smoothie, a Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie, or an Apple Crisp Smoothie, smoothies make a great breakfast, snack, or even dessert.

But, as simple as they are to make, it’s important to get the correct quantity of each ingredient. We don’t want them too thick, too thin, too sweet, not sweet enough, too chunky, too icy…yeah, you get it.

Well, I’m going to show you just How to Make a Smoothie! This is my formula for making the perfect fruit smoothie every time with just the right amount of liquid, fruit, yogurt, and add-ins.

What Should I Put in My Smoothie?

The great thing about a fruit smoothie recipe is that the customization opportunities are virtually endless. Here’s a quick run through of what I usually put in my smoothies:

• Milk or Juice: you can use dairy milk, non-dairy milk, juice, or even coconut water — really any liquid goes! You can even use cold tea.
• Greek Yogurt: yogurt is a great way to kick the protein up a notch and to make a deliciously thick and creamy texture. Dairy-free, plant-based yogurt works well, too, and you can skip it if you need (it just won’t be as thick).
• Banana: I love to keep frozen, sliced banana on-hand. The frozen banana makes it extra creamy and acts as a natural sweetener.
• Berries/Other Fruit: any frozen fruit work great in smoothies! Pineapple, mango, and berries are our favorites. You can even use watermelon like in this refreshing Watermelon Smoothie!
• Add-Ins: you can customize it with so many different add-ins. Protein powders, nuts or seeds, oats, extracts, sweeteners, even avocado!

What liquid do I use for a smoothie?

We’ve gone over the basics above, but here are a few more fun options:

• Chocolate milk or chocolate almond milk
• Cold coffee or tea
• Pineapple or mango juice
• Oat, almond, soy or coconut milk.
• Kombucha or kefir — for some fermented goodness!

Which fruits do I put in a smoothie?

Frozen is best because they create a thick and refreshing smoothie! If you have fresh fruit, try to balance it out with a frozen banana or a cup of ice.

• I use frozen banana for almost all of my smoothies! It makes them rich and creamy.
• Apples (not peeled) or oranges (peeled)
• Berries — they are full of antioxidants and fibre! (this Blueberry Smoothie is one of our favorite berry smoothies!)
• Pineapple, mango, kiwi — these are fun tropical flavors (they pair well with coconut milk — like in this fun Tropical Smoothie!)
• Peaches, cherries or other stone fruits (grab a bag of frozen and skip paying the high price when they are out of season)

Smoothie Add-In Ideas

• Nut Butters: give it a boost of nutrition and nutty flavor with a scoop of peanut butter, cashew butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter.
• Seeds: add in a sprinkle of flax seeds, chia seeds, or hemp hearts.
• Grains: add a scoop of quick oats or even cooked brown rice or quinoa.
• Protein: make it more filling with a scoop of your favorite protein or collagen powder.
• Make it creamy: Cream cheese and cottage cheese make an incredibly thick and creamy smoothie.
• Veggies: a handful of fresh spinach or kale, half an avocado, or even a handful of frozen cauliflower is a great way to add some extra nutrition. Cauliflower and avocado also create an extra smooth and creamy texture!
• Sweeteners: prefer it sweeter? Try adding a drizzle of honey, agave, pitted Medjool dates, or simple syrup.
• Extracts: add a dash of vanilla, almond or maple extract to add some extra flavor.
• Spices and Powders: try Acai powder, maca powder, spirulina, cinnamon, nutmeg, you name it.

How to Make a Smoothie

This healthy snack comes together in a quick 5 minutes! Here’s how:

1. Add ingredients to the blender: Add all of your ingredients to a high powered blender in order from softest to firmest.
2. Blend: Blend until smooth, stopping to stir if needed.
3. Adjust as needed: Check the flavor and texture, adjust as needed, then serve right away!

Feeling like you need a tropical vacation, but the closest you’re getting is your kitchen? This Tropical Smoothie is sunshine in a glass! 

It’s made with creamy coconut milk or pineapple juice, pineapple chunks, mango, banana, and Greek yogurt. No ice needed!

Super easy, refreshing, and just what you need to beat that hot day slump.

Why you’ll love this Tropical Smoothie recipe:

• Customizable: Swap out different fruits and liquids for a truly personalized tropical drink. 
• Island vibes: The blend of different fruits paired with coconut milk or pineapple juice tastes like a tropical paradise!
• Loaded with nutrients: I love how how easy it is to get a bunch of different vitamins and nutrients in one glass! It’s rare for me to get another snack or breakfast that is this loaded with good stuff.

Tropical Smoothie Ingredients:

• Greek Yogurt: you can use plain or vanilla yogurt. Whichever you prefer! Vanilla will add more sweetness to the smoothie. Aim for something high in protein!
• Liquid: use either coconut milk or pineapple juice—or a mix of both! Coconut milk will make a thicker, creamier smoothie.
• Frozen Fruit: I use a blend of banana, pineapple, and mango, which creates the perfect blend of tropical flavors.

How to Make a Tropical Fruit Smoothie:

This Tropical Smoothie recipe makes the perfect easy and healthy snack. It’s ready in a quick 5 minutes! Check the recipe card for the full list of recipe instructions!

• Add all of your ingredients to the blender.
• Blend until smooth, stirring as necessary.

Tropical Smoothie Variations

• Use another liquid. I love the flavor of both coconut milk and pineapple juice but feel free to play around with the liquid you use. Other great tropical options would be coconut water, mango nectar, orange juice, etc.
• Add other fruit. The banana, pineapple, and mango combination is insanely good, but other fruit combinations work great, too. Try adding or subbing in frozen strawberries, peaches, kiwi, raspberries, you name it.
• Boost the nutrition. Give the smoothie an extra kick of nutrition with a scoop of old-fashioned oats, a sprinkle of flax or chia seeds, or a handful of raw cashews.
• Add protein. Vanilla protein powder thickens the smoothie and makes it extra creamy, plus adds a bit of sweetness.
• Make it green. Feel free to toss in a handful of fresh spinach or kale to turn this into a tropical green smoothie. You won’t even taste it!
• Yogurt: If you choose not to use yogurt, keep in mind that the texture won’t be quite the same! You can add more frozen fruit to thicken it if desired, or use a coconut yogurt for a dairy free option.

Make-ahead option: 

Smoothies are so easy to prep ahead of time! Just portion out the ingredients into ziplock bags to make freezer smoothie packs and pop them into the freezer.

Whenever you’re ready to enjoy a smoothie, dump the ingredients into a blender and add a splash of liquid.

Prepping smoothies ahead of time:

Smoothies are super easy to prep ahead of time! You can have the ingredients prepped in the fridge separately such as frozen bananas.

Pro tip: Freeze bananas before they brown. Peel, cut, and store in a bag. Grab what you need when ready to blend!

You can also prep smoothie bags with all the ingredients for one serving. Just add liquid and blend for a quick, easy breakfast!

The rich cream cheese glaze adds just the right amount of indulgence, making it a must-have for any brunch or dessert table.

Why you’ll love this easy Coconut Bread recipe:

• Perfect for coconut lovers: This sweet bread is loaded with coconut milk, extract, and shredded coconut for a hit of tropical flavor!
• Quick: This recipe only has 10 minutes of prep and is ready in an hour, so it’s perfect for whipping up at a moment’s notice. 
• Moist: The coconut milk, oil, and Greek yogurt keep this bread super moist and fluffy.

Coconut Bread Ingredients:

Coconut Bread

• Granulated sugar: Adds sweetness.
• Canned light coconut milk: Light coconut milk is thinner and has less fat than regular coconut milk, so it’s a bit lighter with a milder flavor.
• Greek yogurt: Keeps the bread moist and adds a little tang to balance the sweetness.
• Oil: Makes sure the bread stays soft and doesn’t dry out. Use any neutral-flavored cooking oil for this recipe, like canola, vegetable, or avocado oil. You could even use melted coconut oil for even more coconut flavor. 
• Eggs: Hold everything together and give the bread structure.
• Coconut extract: Kicks up the coconut flavor for an extra tropical taste! You can omit this, but the coconut flavor will be much more subtle.
• Vanilla extract: Adds depth of flavor.
• Baking powder and baking soda: These leavening agents help the bread rise so it’s nice and fluffy.
• All-purpose flour: Gives the bread its shape and texture while keeping it tender. 
• Sweetened shredded coconut: Adds a little texture and even more coconut flavor. 

Cream Cheese Glaze

• Cream cheese: Creates a rich, creamy base for the glaze. Make sure to use a full-fat cream cheese block, not the kind that comes in a tub, for best results. 
• Powdered sugar: Sweetens and thickens up the glaze. 
• Milk: Thins out the glaze for easy drizzling. You can use any kind of milk here. 

How to make Coconut Bread:

This Coconut Bread is made in one bowl and only takes 10 minutes to prep! For the full list of recipe instructions, scroll down to the recipe card below!

• Whisk together the sugar, coconut milk, yogurt, oil, eggs, coconut and vanilla extracts.
• Add the baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk until combined.

• Add the flour and coconut and stir to combine.
• Pour it into a lightly greased bread loaf pan and bake.

• Beat the glaze ingredients together.
• Spoon over the top of the loaf.

Variations and Substitutions

• Add nuts: Add chopped nuts like almonds or macadamia nuts to the batter for extra texture.
• Add citrus zest: Mix in some lemon or lime zest to the batter or glaze for a fresh, zesty kick!

How to store this Coconut Bread loaf:

Store the loaf at room temperature for 1-2 days. After that, pop it into the fridge for up to one week!

If you want a warm slice of Coconut Bread, pop it into the microwave for 10 seconds.

How to freeze Coconut Bread:

Coconut Bread, like most quick bread recipes, freezes beautifully, which means it’s perfect for making ahead and saving for a day when you have surprise guests or need something for a potluck!

Simply wrap tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container for up to 3 months before thawing.

To thaw, leave out at room temperature for 3-4 hours or in the refrigerator overnight.

Air Fryer French Toast is the perfect way to start your day! Made with crusty French bread in an eggy batter, it’s warmly spiced with cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla. Ready in just 15 minutes, it’s perfect for busy mornings and brunches!

If you love French toast for a sweet breakfast or brunch idea, you’ll love my French Toast Casserole or these Cinnamon Buns! Alternatively, check out my other Delicious Brunch Recipes.

We love French toast here, and it’s no wonder. It’s deliciously sweet, perfectly spiced, and it’s so easy to make!

Making French toast in the air fryer is the best way I’ve found to get those deliciously crispy edges while keeping the inside soft and fluffy.

Why we love this crispy French toast:

• Family-friendly: French toast is a classic breakfast the whole family will love.
• Quick: This air fryer is the secret weapon for making classic French toast in a fraction of the time!
• Easy: You only need 6 ingredients, and you can whip up this delicious breakfast in a flash. 

Air Fryer French Toast recipe Ingredients:

• Bread: I like to use thick slices of French bread for French toast. It keeps together nicely when coated in the batter. If your bread is a few days old, that’s even better!
• Sugar and Cinnamon: I use regular ground cinnamon and white granulated sugar for this recipe, but you can use an alternative sweetener if you prefer.
• Milk and Eggs: they make the base of the batter for French toast. Use whole milk for the richest flavor, but lower-fat milk or dairy-free milk like oat milk or almond milk.
• Vanilla Extract: adds a warmness to the toast and compliments the cinnamon well.

How to Make Air Fryer French Toast

This French toast is super quick and easy to make! Full instructions are included in the recipe card below.

• Mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Mix the eggs, milk, and vanilla in a shallow dish, then add half of the cinnamon sugar.

• Whisk together until combined. 
• Dip each bread slice in egg mixture on both sides. Remove from the egg mixture and allow excess to run off. 

• Place in the prepared air fryer basket. Repeat with all of the bread slices that will fit. Sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar on top.
• Cook each slice, flipping and cooking until completely golden brown. Serve hot.

Air Fryer French Toast Variations

• Use another bread. You can use another type of bread to make French toast, like brioche bread or cinnamon raisin for extra decadent French toast.
• French toast sticks. Cut the slices of bread into small rectangle-shaped strips, then coat them in the egg mixture and cook them in the air fryer to make French toast sticks. Reduce the cooking time as necessary, keeping an eye to make sure the sticks don’t overcook.

How do I store French toast?

Leftover French toast will last in an airtight container in the fridge once cooked for 3-5 days. To reheat, simply warm in the microwave, toast in the oven, or heat in the air fryer until heated through.

Can I freeze French toast?

Yes! Cook the French toast and let it cool. Freeze the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen. Then, store them in a ziplock bag with parchment paper between the slices. Reheat in the toaster or air fryer to get the slices crisp again!

Serving Suggestions

Serve this decadent French toast with fresh berries and fruit, with a light side of Easy Yogurt Parfait with Fresh Berries, or even this colorful Creamy Fruit Salad.

Make it savory by serving it with oven-cooked bacon or an Omelette!

Servings 6

Calories 207cal

Author Ashley Fehr

Ingredients

• 6-8 slices french bread 1" thick
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (or another sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ cup milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 eggs

US Customary – Metric

Instructions

• Slice French bread into 1″ slices. Stir together sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F.
• Whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla in a shallow dish until combined. (The dish should be big enough to lay a piece of your sliced bread in to fully coat it.) Then, add half of the cinnamon sugar, this will help to prevent the cinnamon from clumping.
• Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the air fryer basket and spray it with non-aerosol non-stick spray.
• Dip each bread slice in egg mixture, making sure it is coated on both sides. Remove the slice of bread from the egg mixture and allow the excess batter to run off back into the dish. Place the slice laying flat on the parchment in the air fryer.
• Repeat with all of the bread slices you can fit, in a single layer (you may have to do more than one batch). Sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar on top of the slices.
• Cook the slices until they are golden brown, this will take about 5 minutes, before flipping them over and cooking until the other side is golden brown too.
• Serve hot with fresh berries and maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar!

Notes

To Store: Store cooked French toast in an airtight container or plastic bag in the fridge for 3-5 days.

To reheat, simply warm in the microwave, toast in the oven, or heat in the air fryer until heated through.

To Freeze: Cook the French toast slices and let them cool completely before transferring them to a baking sheet in a single layer.

Put the full baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes, until the slices have just frozen.

Once frozen, transfer the slices to a ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months, separating them with pieces of parchment paper so they don’t stick together.

To serve, bake at 350ºF in the oven for 10 minutes (or until heated through), or reheat in the toaster or in the Air Fryer!

What is rhubarb?

As it turns out, Rhubarb is considered a spring vegetable.

Rhubarb stalks are sold in grocery stores and farmer’s markets across the U.S. – generally from April to June when the stalks have the sweetest flavors. Rhubarb stalks are green, pink, or red in color, like celery but prettier. The redder the stalk the sweeter the flavor!

Rhubarb is often confused with fruit since it’s sometimes used in sweet recipes like pies, cobblers, tarts, and other dessert treats.

What does rhubarb taste like?

Rhubarb is a fibrous vegetable similar to celery but without the crispness. The texture of rhubarb is more like a bite into a walnut: smooth with a slight crunch. Typically, the stalks are sliced into bite-sized pieces for baking. When properly cooked, rhubarb gives recipes like pies and cobblers a delicious and gentle tartness.

However, eaten raw, rhubarb is extremely bitter and sour. This is why many rhubarb desserts will include other ingredients to soften, sweeten, or balance the flavors (strawberries and sugar are common go-tos).

How to store rhubarb:

You have a couple of methods for storing rhubarb in the fridge and freezer!

Fridge

Fresh rhubarb will last up to one week in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap! Just make sure you cut off the toxic leaves first.

Freezer

Rhubarb freezes like a dream! This is especially handy if, like me, you’re on a mission to try any and all fruit and rhubarb combinations, all year-round. Your freezer is your friend!

I recommend cutting the stalks into pieces to store airtight in the freezer. Here’s how to freeze fresh rhubarb:

1. Slice the rhubarb and place it in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
2. Place the whole sheet in the freezer until the rhubarb pieces are frozen solid.
3. Transfer the frozen rhubarb to resealable bags or containers labeled with contents, amount, and recipe details as needed (ie. “2 cups rhubarb, muffins/scones”).

While it’s easy to freeze, rhubarb does tend to turn mushy after defrosting. This makes frozen rhubarb best to use in recipes where it can be added in and then cooked or baked from frozen, such as baking and sauces.

This easy Breakfast Skillet is made with just a few ingredients and in 30 minutes or less! A hearty breakfast or quick weeknight dinner.

Some of our favorites for breakfast for dinner night are this French Toast Casserole, these Whole Wheat Pancakes, and this Easy Ham Quiche Recipe.

This Breakfast Skillet is loaded with protein; we’ve swapped the traditional bacon for ham to lighten things up, potatoes add a good amount of fiber, and green onions and cheddar cheese add so much flavor (and, I mean, gooey cheese).

This easy breakfast recipe is loaded with flavor and has a little something for everyone. It’ll quickly become a breakfast favorite the whole family will love!

P.S. This is also a great camping recipe, cooked in a cast iron skillet over the fire!

Why we love this easy Breakfast recipe:

• Single skillet: The whole thing is cooked in one skillet, so there’s barely any cleanup! 
• Perfect brunch recipe: This Breakfast Skillet is the best way to get all your favorite breakfast foods into one dish, perfect for a weekend brunch!
• Easy to make ahead: You can chop up the veggies, shred the cheese, and even cook the skillet ahead of time (minus the eggs) so you can get breakfast on the table in a flash.

Breakfast Skillet ingredients:

• Oil: any kind of neutral cooking oil will work. 
• Red potatoes: I love the taste of red potatoes for this skillet, but you could also use russet, Yukon gold, or even sweet potatoes! If you don’t feel like chopping up potatoes, you could use hash browns or frozen chopped potatoes, too!
• Bell peppers: I use a combination of green pepper and red bell pepper, but any type of bell pepper will work.
• Cooked ham: you can use leftover ham, pre-chopped ham, or chop it up yourself!
• Italian seasoning: I added this for flavor, but you could use any type of seasoning you like! Garlic powder or onion powder would also be great.
• Eggs: I made fried eggs, but you can also make scrambled eggs in the skillet! Just push the veggies and potatoes over to one side and scramble the eggs on the other side. 
• Shredded cheese: you can use any type of shredded cheese you like! 
• Green onions: these are for garnish. If you don’t like them, feel free to leave them out!

How to make breakfast in a skillet:

This breakfast recipe is the perfect quick and easy breakfast! For the full list of recipe instructions, scroll down to the recipe card below. 

• Add diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until crispy and tender.
• Add ham, chopped bell peppers, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the peppers are slightly tender.

• Create spaces in the skillet for the eggs and crack them in. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cover the skillet and cook until the egg whites are set. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and sliced green onions, then serve.

Variations on this Breakfast Skillet recipe:

• You can make this breakfast skillet dairy-free by omitting the cheese or swapping it for non-dairy cheese.
• This breakfast skillet is naturally gluten-free; just be sure to double-check all of your ingredients.
• You can make this breakfast skillet vegetarian by swapping the ham for extra veggies — mushrooms, spinach, additional peppers — whatever you like in your omelets is great in here, too!
• You can keep the meat and bump up the veggies just because! Spinach is one of our favorites because no one really notices it, and it adds a ton of nutritional value. 
• Swap the ham for bacon (cooked, or cook first) or breakfast sausage (again cooked, or cook it first in the pan).
• Make this dish a low-carb breakfast by omitting the potatoes and upping the veggies instead!
• Feel free to dice up a yellow onion and cook it with the potatoes for extra flavor.

How to store this dish:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days! Reheat on the stovetop over low heat or pop it in the microwave. 

How to prep this Breakfast Skillet ahead:

There are lots of ways you can prep this Breakfast Skillet ahead to make life easier on busy days!

• Chop the ham, peppers, and onions in advance and store in the refrigerator for up to a couple days.
• Shred the cheese or buy a bag of pre-shredded cheese.
• You can also cook this breakfast skillet completely and then reheat it if you are using only scrambled eggs. If you prefer your eggs sunny side up, cook everything else in the skillet, then when you’re ready to serve, reheat on the stove until hot and add your eggs.

Unfortunately, cut potatoes do not store well, so please do not prep them in advance.

Can I use cooked potatoes instead of fresh potatoes?

Yes! This recipe works great with leftover cooked potatoes. Just add your potatoes straight into the skillet and reduce the cook time since they won’t take as long!

Serving suggestions:

Since this Breakfast Skillet is a hearty dish, you could serve it alongside something sweeter like Cinnamon Banana Bread or Air Fryer French Toast!

If you’re serving this for brunch, pair this skillet with Cream Cheese Fruit Dip, Cinnamon Roll Bites, or Easy Yogurt Parfaits so guests have some sweeter options. 

More easy breakfast recipes:

• Prep-Ahead Yogurt Parfaits — these always go quickly!
• Breakfast in a Mug: easy, healthy breakfast casserole! — perfect for busy mornings.
• Crockpot Breakfast Casserole – perfect for lazy weekends.

• Bell pepper & spinach: I love sneaking veggies into this casserole to make it a little more nutritious! Feel free to mix in other vegetables like mushrooms or tomatoes, or use frozen spinach if fresh isn’t available.
• Green onions: They give a subtle oniony zing! Regular onions work, too; just make sure to sauté them first to soften their sharpness.
• Shredded cheddar cheese: This is baked into the casserole, so each bite is wrapped up in melty goodness! You can use other cheeses like Monterey Jack or Swiss if you prefer something different.
• Eggs & half and half: These create the custard-like base that binds everything together.
• Salt, dried parsley, black Pepper, & seasoning salt: These seasonings bring out all the flavors and balance the dish. You can adjust the amounts or use your favorite seasoning blends to customize the taste!
• Frozen tater tots: These are added on top of the casserole to form a crispy, golden topping that makes the casserole irresistible! 

How to make classic tater tot casserole:

Scroll down in the recipe card for the full recipe instructions! Here are some step-by-step instructions for how to make this recipe:

• Add the chopped veggies, cooked sausage, and cheese to a casserole dish.
• Mix the egg, seasonings, and milk.

• Pour into the casserole dish.
• Top with frozen tater tots.

Variations and Substitutions

• Add in extra vegetables — for firmer vegetables, you can saute them first if you prefer to soften them and enhance the flavor.
• Choose turkey sausage or ham instead of pork sausage or bacon, or leave it out and bump up the veggies for a meatless version.
• Try using cauliflower or sweet potato tots from your frozen veggie aisle.
• Choose low-fat milk or non-dairy instead of whole.
• If you are feeding someone who prefers lower-carb recipes, simply omit a couple rows of the tater tots.

How to store and reheat leftover breakfast casserole:

Store individual servings in their own airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge or up to 4 months in the freezer. 

Reheat in a 350ºF oven for 20-30 minutes or until warm. If you’re short on time, pop it into the microwave!

Tips for making this breakfast casserole ahead:

There are so many ways to make this easy breakfast casserole even easier by prepping ingredients ahead:

• Chop all vegetables.
• Cook and chop all the meat.
• Shred your cheese.
• If you like, you can complete everything up until the point of adding the tater tots the day before, then cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. I don’t like to add the tater tots until I’m baking because I want them crispy!
• To freeze the casserole, assemble everything, wrap it in plastic wrap and foil, and freeze for up to 4 months. You can add the tater tots on top of the casserole as they’re stored in the freezer, so they won’t lose their texture. 

Serving suggestions:

You can eat this casserole on its own as a whole meal or lay out a brunch spread with Cinnamon Roll Bites, Easy Cinnamon Roll Casserole, or Overnight Apple Crisp French Toast for a savory and sweet combo!
