Ingredients

Scale

Proteins and Dairy

  • 6 eggs
  • 3 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup shredded cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream

Vegetables and Herbs

  • ¼ cup chopped tomatoes
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small ripe avocado, sliced

Other

  • 2 hash brown patties
  • Salsa or hot sauce for serving
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chopped bacon until it is crispy. Once done, remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
  2. Cook Hash Browns: Prepare the hash brown patties by either baking them following package instructions or air frying at 400°F (204°C) for 8-10 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  3. Make Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Melt the butter in the same skillet used for bacon over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble gently, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fully cooked but still moist. Stir in the shredded cheese toward the end if you prefer cheesy eggs.
  4. Assemble Bowls: Divide the scrambled eggs evenly into serving bowls. Top each bowl with crispy bacon, sliced avocado, a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream, chopped green onions, chopped tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. Serve with salsa or hot sauce on the side according to your preference.

Notes

  • You can substitute bacon with turkey bacon for a leaner option.
  • For a dairy-free version, omit cheese and use dairy-free yogurt.
  • Adjust the amount of salsa or hot sauce based on your spice tolerance.
  • Hash browns can be cooked on stovetop in a skillet if you do not have an oven or air fryer.
  • Adding a handful of spinach to the scrambled eggs is a great way to increase your veggie intake.
