Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep the bacon, chop the tomatoes, and slice the avocado early in the morning. Then I finish the eggs and assemble when it is time to eat. Prepping parts of the meal saves time and keeps flavors fresh.

How long will leftovers keep?

Store eggs and bacon in the fridge for up to three days. Hash browns keep well for a few days if you store them in an airtight container. Add avocado and yogurt fresh when serving.

Can I make the bowl vegetarian?

Definitely. Swap the bacon for smoked tofu, tempeh bacon, or extra beans. Add spinach, mushrooms, or roasted peppers for more flavor and texture.

What tools do I need?

A medium skillet, a baking sheet for hash browns, a mixing bowl, and a sharp knife for chopping toppings. A small spatula helps with gentle scrambling.

Is this recipe kid-friendly?

Yes. Let kids assemble their own bowls and choose their toppings. I find that ownership makes them more likely to taste new things.
