Introduction

This easy high protein breakfast bowl is a hearty and delicious way to start your day. Packed with eggs, bacon, and fresh veggies, it’s perfect for meal prep and keeps you energized throughout the morning.

A white scalloped bowl filled with a colorful layered breakfast dish sits on a white marbled surface. The bottom layer is soft, yellow scrambled eggs mixed with small bits of crispy brown bacon. On top of the eggs, there are diced red tomatoes and chopped green onions scattered evenly. One side of the bowl is topped with five neatly sliced pieces of bright green avocado. Next to the avocado rests a golden-brown hash brown with a crispy texture. In the center of the bowl, there is a dollop of white sour cream sprinkled with black pepper and chopped fresh green herbs. A silver fork with a wooden handle is placed inside the bowl. Two small glasses of orange juice and part of another bowl with a similar dish can be seen in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 tbsp butter
6 eggs

3 slices bacon, chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheese

1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
2 green onions, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 small ripe avocado, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste

2 hash brown patties (optional)
2 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream
Optional: salsa or hot sauce for serving

Instructions

Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: To cook the hash browns, place patties on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake according to package instructions, or cook them in an air fryer at 400°F for 8-10 minutes.
Step 3: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. Pour the eggs into the skillet, then gently scramble with a spatula, stirring occasionally until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in butter and cheese if desired.

Step 4: Divide the scrambled eggs evenly between two bowls and top each with the cooked bacon.
Step 5: Add sliced avocado on top, then spoon a dollop of Greek yogurt and sprinkle with green onions, chopped tomatoes, and cilantro.
Step 6: Serve with salsa or hot sauce on the side for extra flavor.

Tips & Variations

Swap bacon for turkey bacon or sausage for a different protein option.
Use your favorite cheese or omit it for a dairy-free version.
Add black beans or cooked quinoa to boost fiber and nutrients.

For extra veggies, mix in sautéed spinach or bell peppers with the eggs.

Storage

Store assembled breakfast bowls without avocado and yogurt in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add fresh avocado and yogurt just before serving. Reheat gently in the microwave to avoid overcooking the eggs.
