Ingredients

Scale

For the breakfast plate:

  • 2 large eggs (fried, scrambled, or poached)
  • 2 slices of bacon or 2 breakfast sausages
  • 1/2 cup roasted or sautéed potatoes
  • 1/4 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach or arugula

Optional additions:

  • 1 slice whole-grain toast or 1 English muffin
  • 1 tbsp butter or cream cheese for toast
  • Hot sauce or salsa for topping

Seasoning and garnish:

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or chives, chopped

Instructions

1. Cook the protein

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon or breakfast sausages until browned and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

2. Prepare the potatoes

  1. If using raw potatoes, dice them into small cubes and season with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional paprika. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes or sauté in a skillet until crispy and tender.

3. Cook the eggs

  1. Using the same skillet (with a little bacon grease or fresh olive oil), cook your eggs to your preferred style: fried, scrambled, or poached. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Assemble the plate

  1. Arrange the cooked eggs, bacon or sausage, potatoes, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and fresh greens on a plate.
  2. Add toast or an English muffin if desired.

5. Garnish and serve

  1. Sprinkle the plate with fresh parsley or chives. Add hot sauce, salsa, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra flavor. Serve warm.


Notes

  • Variations: Substitute bacon or sausage with grilled ham, smoked salmon, or tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Make-Ahead: Roast potatoes in advance and reheat for quicker assembly.
  • Storage: Store cooked components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
