Loaded Breakfast Bowl (Printable version)

A hearty morning bowl with crispy potatoes, eggs, bacon, cheese and fresh avocado toppings.

# Ingredient List:

→ Potatoes

01 - 3 medium russet potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon paprika
04 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

→ Proteins

06 - 6 large eggs
07 - 6 strips bacon, diced
08 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

→ Fresh Toppings

09 - 1 medium avocado, diced
10 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
11 - 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
12 - 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
13 - Hot sauce to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on edges.
02 - While potatoes roast, cook diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp and browned. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease, leaving 1 tablespoon bacon drippings in the skillet.
03 - Whisk eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into the same skillet with reserved bacon drippings over medium-low heat. Gently push eggs across the pan with a spatula for 2-3 minutes until just set and still slightly moist. Remove from heat immediately.
04 - Divide roasted potatoes evenly among 4 bowls. Top each portion with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Arrange diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro over each bowl. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired and serve immediately while hot.

# Expert Suggestions:

  • Everything cooks on one sheet pan while you scramble eggs on the side, making cleanup surprisingly manageable
  • The crispy potatoes paired with creamy avocado and sharp cheddar hit every texture craving in one bite
02 -
  • Dont crowd the potatoes on the baking sheet or they will steam instead of getting crispy
  • Scramble eggs gently over low heat so they stay tender and dont become rubbery or dry
03 -
  • Cook bacon ahead of time and reheat it to streamline your morning routine
  • Cube your potatoes the night before and store them in water to prevent browning
