Sunny Side Up Eggs and Veggies

Weekends at our house mean a big breakfast.  Not huge, but usually an omelet, maybe some bacon or sausage (turkey or pork), and toast, bagel or sometimes home fries.  At a certain point this gets boring.  I know you can put a zillion things in a omelet, so how can it get boring? Case in point, Saturday's mushroom, celery, asparagus and goat cheese omelet was quite tasty.  But I digress, yes, I get bored making omelets every weekend morning, I wanted something a little different. 

Some of my best ideas are free form, I wasn't sure what I wanted except that I wanted it to have sauteed veggies.  I knew the hubby wanted eggs, and the idea of potatoes sound good.  I didn't want to use an excessive amount of pans, so I decided one pan for home fries and one for the veggies and potatoes, are we wondering into omelet territory here?  Almost. I sauteed the veggies and then made space in the pan for four sunny side-up eggs.

Once everything was cooked, I wanted it to be a"dish" not three separate items, so I piled each item on top of the other.  This allowed the yolks to blend with the other ingredients.  Have fun with this, just like an omelet the possibilities are endless.
