Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

Step 2: Cook the Breakfast Protein
While the potatoes are roasting, cook sausage or beef patties in a skillet over medium heat.
Once fully cooked, remove and chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Veggies
In the same skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil.
Add bell pepper and red onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft.
Stir in spinach and cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 2 minutes until spinach is wilted.
Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Step 4: Make the Scrambled Eggs
Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk with milk, salt, and pepper.
Melt butter in a clean skillet over medium-low heat.
Pour in the eggs and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until soft and fluffy.
Remove from heat.

Step 5: Assemble the Bowls
Divide roasted potatoes into 4 serving bowls.
Top with scrambled eggs, sautéed veggies, and chopped sausage or beef.
Add cheese while everything is still hot to let it melt slightly.
Garnish with avocado, herbs, and your favorite sauce or toppings.

Tips for the Perfect Breakfast Bowl
Cut Even Potatoes – This helps them roast evenly and crisp up nicely.
Low & Slow Eggs – Cooking eggs gently keeps them creamy and soft.
Make It Spicy – Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a fiery kick.
Double Up – Cook extra and store portions in the fridge for grab-and-go meals.
Balance It – If it feels heavy, pair with fresh fruit or a smoothie.

Serving Suggestions
Fresh Berries – A side of strawberries or blueberries adds a fresh, sweet contrast.
Smoothie or Juice – Try a green smoothie or orange juice to round out your meal.
Toasted Bread – Whole grain or sourdough toast makes it extra filling.
Coffee or Tea – Because breakfast and coffee just belong together.
