Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
  • 4 strips bacon, chopped (or 2 sausages, crumbled)
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small avocado, diced
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced (or 1 cup cooked quinoa for a lighter option)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, hot sauce, sour cream, green onions, or salsa

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Potatoes

  1. Cook the Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Set them aside.

Step 2: Cook the Protein

  1. Cook the Bacon/Sausage: In the same skillet, add the chopped bacon (or crumbled sausage). Cook for 4-5 minutes until crispy and browned. If using sausage, make sure it is fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Veggies

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Add the diced bell peppers and sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

Step 4: Cook the Eggs

  1. Cook the Eggs: In a separate nonstick pan, cook the eggs to your liking—scrambled, fried, or poached work well. For scrambled eggs, simply beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then cook them over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they are set but still soft.

Step 5: Assemble the Bowl

  1. Assemble the Breakfast Bowl: Start by placing the cooked potatoes (or quinoa) at the bottom of each bowl. Layer with the cooked bacon or sausage, sautéed vegetables, and scrambled eggs. Top with fresh diced avocado and any additional toppings, such as cheese, hot sauce, salsa, or sour cream.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Savory Breakfast Bowl immediately while the ingredients are warm and enjoy your hearty and satisfying breakfast!
