Start by heating a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add your hash browns or diced sweet potatoes. Listen for that satisfying sizzle. You want them golden and slightly charred. This is the foundation of your healthy meal prep breakfast bowls.

In the same pan, cook your chosen meat. Whether it is sausage or bacon, let the fat render out slowly. The aroma will bring everyone into the kitchen, just like it does in our house. Remove the meat but keep a little of the drippings for flavor.

Whisk your eggs with a pinch of sea salt. Pour them into the warm skillet and move them gently with a spatula. We are looking for soft, pillowy curds. For a lighter touch, you can use egg whites instead of whole eggs.

Take four bowls and begin layering. I like to put the potatoes at the bottom to soak up all the juices. Add a generous scoop of the eggs, followed by the beans and the cooked protein.

Dollop a spoonful of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese on top. This creates a beautiful contrast of temperatures. It is a technique I learned while researching Southwest Protein Breakfast Bowls which really elevates the dish.

Top with your avocado, cheese, and cilantro. Sometimes I add a dash of hot sauce to give it a tex-mex breakfast bowls flare that Ethan enjoys.
