Meal Prep Breakfast Taco Bowls
Meal prep breakfast taco bowls combine fluffy eggs, crispy potatoes and savory sausage into an easy make-ahead breakfast packed with flavor and ready for busy mornings.
Servings: 4
Equipment
- Skillet Large
Ingredients
- 8 eggs large
- ½ Teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons taco seasoning
- ½ Cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded, plus more for serving
- 3 Cups frozen potatoes O'Brien
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1 Pound ground breakfast sausage
To Serve
- ¼ Cup cilantro freshly chopped
- ¼ Cup pico de gallo freshly made, or salsa
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, black pepper, half the taco seasoning, and the cheddar cheese in a large mixing bowl until combined. Set aside.
- Cook the potatoes O’Brien with the remaining taco seasoning according to package instructions. Set aside in a bowl.
- In the same skillet, add the olive oil or butter and the egg mixture.
- Cook until the eggs are just set, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a skillet over a medium heat, add the sausage and cook until fully cooked, breaking it up with a wooden spoon while it cooks.
- Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
- Evenly divide the eggs, potatoes and sausage between 4 meal prep containers.
- Sprinkle over the cheddar cheese. Either top with the cilantro and pico de gallo or keep them separate until serving.
Notes
Cook the eggs gently: Low and slow heat keeps them soft and fluffy instead of dry. Cook the eggs over a low to medium heat and pull from the heat just before the eggs begin to fully set.
Let everything cool before assembling: This helps prevent condensation that can make the bowls soggy.
Use a good-quality breakfast sausage: Fresh sausage with good seasoning makes a big difference in flavor.
Keep toppings separate: If you like, store the pico de gallo separately and add it just before eating. I like to add salsa to individual dressing containers.
