Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 3 slices bacon, chopped (substitute turkey bacon or smoked tempeh for vegetarian)
- 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil for dairy-free)
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a dairy-free alternative)
- ¼ cup tomatoes, chopped (roma or cherry work well)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 small ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream (use plain dairy-free yogurt to make vegan-style)
- 2 hash brown patties (optional; bake or air fry)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven per package instructions for hash browns or set air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and cook until golden and crispy, about 8–10 minutes.
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 5–6 minutes until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towel, leaving fat in the skillet.
- Prepare eggs by cracking them into a bowl and whisking with salt and pepper.
- Scramble eggs in the skillet with bacon fat and butter over medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes until just set and creamy; stir in cheese.
- Assemble bowls by dividing eggs among three, topping with bacon, avocado, Greek yogurt, tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro. Serve with hash browns if using.
- Finish by serving with salsa or hot sauce on the side.
Notes
For lower sodium, rinse bacon briefly or use reduced-sodium bacon. Serve over spinach or brown rice for extra fiber.
