Potato, Egg and Veggie Breakfast Empanads

Breakfast is one of my favorite meals. I think that it is a great meal because you can start your day with a delicious sweet French Toast breakfast or with savory Potato, Egg and Veggie Breakfast Empanadas. There is such a delicious variety of breakfast foods that I always look forward to starting my day with a delicious breakfast.

We made Ham and Cheese Empanadas awhile back and they turned out delicious so we were excited to see what other kinds of Empanadas we could make. The options are endless with breakfast, dinner and dessert empanadas options. The Potato,  Egg and Veggie Breakfast Empanadas is my favorite one that we have tried so far because it has so much flavor with the onions, peppers and potatoes. We didn't add any cheese to ours, but this is definitely something that you could add. Just shred your cheese and add some before closing your empanadas.
