🍳 Reinvented Classic: The Ultimate Breakfast Power Bowl

All your breakfast favorites. One bowl. Zero boredom.

Let’s face it: traditional breakfasts—while nostalgic—can feel a little… predictable. Scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, hash browns. Tasty? Sure. But exciting? Not really. Plus, when made the old-school way, they can leave you heavy, sluggish, and reaching for coffee #3 before noon.

So we gave the classic American breakfast a total makeover. Enter: the Breakfast Power Bowl.

This recipe packs in everything you love—crispy potatoes, runny eggs, savory bacon, and toasty bread flavor—but with:

• Better balance

• Fewer processed fats

• More fiber + nutrients

• Beautiful presentation (because yes, that matters too)

  
  

🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2)

Base:

• 1 large sweet potato, diced (or Yukon Gold for a more classic feel)

• 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

• ½ tsp smoked paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

  
  

Protein:

• 2–4 eggs (poached, soft-boiled, or jammy)

• 2 slices turkey bacon or center-cut pork bacon

  
  

Toast Crunch:

• 1 slice whole grain sourdough, Ezekiel bread or gluten free Schar, cubed & toasted

  
  

Add-Ons:

• ½ ripe avocado, sliced or smashed

• ½ cup baby spinach or arugula

• 1 tbsp feta cheese or nutritional yeast (optional)

• Optional: chili flakes, hot sauce, or pesto drizzle

  
  

🍳 Instructions

1. Roast the Potatoes Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper.Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.

2. Make the Toast Crunch While potatoes roast, cube your bread slice and toast in a pan with a tiny bit of oil or in the oven for 5–7 minutes until golden and crunchy. Think croutons, but breakfast-style.

3. Cook the Bacon & Eggs Cook bacon in a skillet until crispy. Set aside. For eggs: poach, soft-boil (7 minutes), or fry to your liking with runny yolks.

4. Build the Bowl Start with a bed of roasted sweet potatoes. Add greens, bacon, and eggs. Top with toast cubes, avocado slices, and cheese (if using). Finish with chili flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce or pesto.
