Step-by-Step Instructions

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

Step 2: Cook the Protein
While the potatoes roast, cook turkey sausage links or beef patties in a skillet over medium heat.
Once browned and cooked through, remove from heat and chop into bite-sized pieces.
Set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Veggies
In the same skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
Add bell pepper and red onion, and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in spinach and cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and tomatoes soften slightly.
Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4: Scramble the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk with milk, salt, and pepper.
In a clean skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat.
Pour in the eggs and cook slowly, stirring gently until just set.
Remove from heat while still soft and fluffy.

Step 5: Assemble the Bowls
Divide the roasted potatoes among serving bowls.
Top with scrambled eggs, sautéed veggies, and chopped sausage or beef.
Sprinkle cheese over the top while everything is still warm.
Add avocado slices, chopped chives, and a drizzle of salsa or dollop of sour cream if desired.

Tips for the Best Breakfast Bowl
Pre-cook ingredients – Roast potatoes and cook proteins ahead for grab-and-go assembly.
Mix up the flavors – Use sweet potatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, or black beans for variety.
Go dairy-free – Use plant-based cheese and yogurt for a completely dairy-free version.
Add crunch – Top with crushed tortilla chips or crispy onions for texture.
Make it spicy – Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a fiery kick.

Serving Suggestions
Fresh Fruit – Serve with orange slices, berries, or a smoothie for a complete breakfast.
Toast or English Muffin – Great for scooping up any extra eggs or veggies.
Coffee or Tea – The perfect beverage to round out your morning.
