Name: Breakfast in a Skillet
Ingredients: 1 lb ground pork sausage; 1 cup diced onion; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 2 cups crumbled biscuits (or other homemade biscuits); 6 oz extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, freshly grated (1½ cups); 1 cup grape tomatoes, quartered; ⅛ tsp freshly ground pepper; 6 large eggs

The best of breakfast comes together here in a big cast-iron skillet. It’s lovely enough to take straight from the oven to the table, even for company. Starting out the day this way sets a pretty high standard for lunch and supper. Preheating the skillet helps the biscuit crumbs stay crisp.
