Description

Combining fluffy eggs, crispy roasted potatoes, and flavorful turkey or plant-based sausage, these meal-prepped bowls offer a balanced, high-protein breakfast for rushed mornings. Customize with toppings like herbs, jalapeños, or spinach for family-friendly nutrition.


Ingredients

Scale

8 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 pound breakfast sausage (turkey or plant-based)
2 cups red potatoes, diced
1 cup green bell pepper, sliced
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil


Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Toss diced potatoes and bell pepper with olive oil, salt, and pepper
Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy
While roasting, cook sausage in a pan over medium heat until browned, crumbling if plant-based
In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until frothy
Pour egg mixture over roasted potatoes and top with cooked sausage
Let sit 10-15 minutes until eggs are set
Reheat to desired temperature
Top with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh cilantro

Notes

Freeze assembled bowls (without cheese) for up to 3 months
Customize toppings at mealtime (e.g., spinach, tomatoes, jalapeños)
Swap milk for Greek yogurt or coconut milk for vegan version
Use sweet potatoes or butternut squash for softer texture
Cheddar can be omitted or replaced with dairy-free cheese
