All your favorite breakfast ingredients together in one hearty and delicious breakfast bowl! Full of eggs, bacon, potatoes, and veggies, this bowl will keep you satisfied and fueled all morning long.

This breakfast bowl is perfect for one person to enjoy, or to make big batches of the ingredients to feed a family! It’s easy to adjust the recipe up or down to make the amount needed.

This savory breakfast bowl is packed with seasoned potatoes, cheesy scrambled eggs, sauteed veggies, and crumbled bacon. The best breakfast ingredients are all together in one big happy bowl. Hearty and filling to get your day started right. Every bite is bursting with morning delight!

The best part of this breakfast bowl is that it is loaded with protein! Throw in some breakfast sausage or make this easy bacon recipe to go in these bowls. Then the toppings take things over the top. Add sliced avocado, green onions, and lots of cheese. You can add as many or as few toppings as you want and make them perfect for you! Fresh homemade salsa would also be delicious on top.

Ingredients Needed

Most of these ingredients you will have on hand so it’s easy to make this breakfast bowl! I love making these bowls when I have leftover potatoes or bacon. All I have to do is cook the eggs and veggies and I’m all set. You can also prepare these ingredients ahead of time and your family will be all set for breakfast all week!

  • Frozen Hash Brown Potatoes: Any kind of potato works in this recipe. I like the small cubed frozen potatoes!
  • Paprika: To season the potatoes, it’s so delicious.

  • Red Onion: Red onion adds lots of flavor.

  • Salt and Pepper: Season the eggs and potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mexican Blend Cheese: I love this blend of cheese but you can use any kind of cheese.

Tips and Variations

This delicious breakfast bowl is customizable and can easily be made to your liking! I love the many variations and flavors that can be added to this bowl. Here are some ideas to get the ball rolling for you.

  • Precooked Bacon: Using ready-made bacon is the best tip for prepping this recipe because it goes a lot faster.
  • Switch Up the Meat: Use any meat you like in place of the bacon. Breakfast sausage or chicken sausage links would be delicious in this recipe! Or use a combination of meat for meat lovers.
  • Use Different Veggies: Skies the limit on all the many veggies that would be yummy in this bowl. Use any vegetable your heart desires.
  • Potato Options: Use leftover roasted potatoes, shredded hashbrowns, or even sweet potatoes would be yummy!
  • Toppings: Have fun with the toppings! Guacamole would be so yummy! Make it spicy with jalapenos, or make it extra cheesy with cotija cheese on top. Serve this breakfast bowl with homemade salsa, or even ketchup! My kids love ketchup with breakfast.

How to Store Leftovers

This dish is so perfect for leftovers! It’s a great grab for breakfast the next day. I love having these leftovers on hand!

  • In the Refrigerator: Once your dish has completely cooled then place leftovers in an airtight container. It will last in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Remove the avocado if storing leftovers because it won’t keep well.
  • To Reheat: This meal easily reheats in the microwave! Just heat it until warmed through and enjoy!
