Preparing High Protein Breakfast Bowls

Making these mouthwatering breakfast bowls is straightforward and immensely satisfying. Start by cooking the bacon until crispy and prepare your hash browns to golden perfection. While the hash browns are cooking, scramble the eggs alongside butter for a creamy base. Finally, assemble your bowls with all the toppings, and you’re ready to serve!

What You’ll Need

Gather these items for a delightful breakfast experience:

• 6 eggs
• 3 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ½ cup shredded cheese
• ¼ cup chopped tomatoes
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 small ripe avocado, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 2 hash brown patties
• Salsa or hot sauce for serving
• Salt and pepper to taste

Feel free to swap bacon for turkey bacon or tofu for a vegetarian option, and experiment with different cheeses for a flavor twist!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Once done, remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Prepare hash brown patties according to the package instructions, or for a healthier option, air-fry them at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until they’re golden and crispy.
3. In the same skillet used for the bacon, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Scramble them in the butter for about 2-3 minutes until just set and fluffy. If you enjoy cheesy eggs, stir in the shredded cheese now and let it melt.
4. Divide the fluffy scrambled eggs into bowls, ensuring a generous serving for each portion.
5. Top each bowl with crispy bacon, avocado slices, Greek yogurt or sour cream, sliced green onions, chopped tomatoes, and fresh cilantro.
6. For an added zing, serve each bowl with salsa or hot sauce.

How to Serve High Protein Breakfast Bowls

To elevate your breakfast experience, consider plating your bowls with flair! Arrange everything beautifully, perhaps adding a sprinkle of extra cilantro for color. Pair this meal with a refreshing smoothie or a hot cup of coffee to kickstart your day. Alternatively, serve with a side of fresh fruit for a balanced meal that feels indulgent yet wholesome.

How to Store

If you find yourself with leftovers (though I doubt it!), storing them is easy. Allow the components to cool entirely before placing them in an airtight container. The scrambled eggs and bacon will keep for up to three days in the fridge. For optimal flavor, reheat in the microwave or on the stove. However, I recommend storing toppings like avocado and yogurt separately to maintain freshness.

Tricks for Success

• Always cook your bacon until it is crispy; this adds a delightful crunch to each bite.
• For creamier scrambled eggs, add a splash of milk or cream when whisking.
• Chop your toppings ahead of time to save precious morning minutes.
• Feel free to experiment with different herbs; parsley or dill can offer a refreshing twist.

Creative Twists

• Consider adding black beans or roasted vegetables for a flavor-packed version of this dish.
• Swap the hash browns for sweet potato patties for a nutritious twist.
• For a spicy kick, add jalapeños or pepper jack cheese to the egg mixture.
