Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Eggs
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices bacon (or turkey bacon)
Potatoes and Seasonings
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Optional Toppings
- Hot sauce
- Salsa
- Sour cream
Instructions
- Cook Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon slices until crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain excess grease and set aside.
- Prepare Potatoes: Using the same skillet with the bacon fat, add olive oil and diced potatoes. Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook the potatoes for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown and tender.
- Cook Eggs: While the potatoes are cooking, use a separate pan to scramble or fry the eggs according to your preference.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the cooked potatoes evenly between bowls. Top each with the eggs, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped green onions.
- Add Optional Toppings: Enhance your breakfast bowl by adding hot sauce, salsa, or sour cream, if desired, before serving.
Notes
- Swap regular potatoes for sweet potatoes for a slightly different flavor and increased nutrients.
- Use cooked hash browns instead of diced potatoes for a faster preparation.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and add sautéed spinach or black beans for protein and texture.
