Ingredients

Eggs: 4 large eggs, beaten.

Breakfast Sausage: 1/2 cup ground sausage, cooked and crumbled.

Cheddar Cheese: 1/4 cup shredded cheddar (or a dairy-free alternative).

Fresh Spinach: 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves.

Cherry Tomatoes: 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved.

Chives: 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives for garnish.

Salt and Pepper: To taste.

Olive Oil or Butter: 1 tablespoon for the skillet.

Step by Step Instructions

1 Prep the Veggies: To begin with, wash your baby spinach and slice the cherry tomatoes in half.

2 Cook the Sausage: Next, brown your ground breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until it is fully cooked, then set it aside.

3 Scramble the Eggs: After clearing the skillet, melt a little butter and pour in your beaten eggs, stirring gently until soft curds form.

4 Assemble the Base: While the eggs finish cooking, line the bottom of your serving bowl with a generous bed of fresh baby spinach.

5 Layer the Scramble: Then, pile the hot scrambled eggs and cooked sausage crumbles directly over the spinach so the heat slightly wilts the greens.

6 Top and Melt: Immediately scatter the shredded cheddar cheese and halved cherry tomatoes over the hot eggs.

7 Garnish and Serve: Finally, sprinkle fresh chives and cracked black pepper on top right before diving in.

Pro Tips for Breakfast Scramble Bowl

Pro Tip: For maximum fluffiness, whisk a splash of heavy cream or whole milk into your eggs before pouring them into the hot skillet.

Customization Tip: If you also want to cut down on calories, you can substitute the pork sausage for lean turkey sausage or protein-rich black beans.

Storage Instructions

If you happen to have leftovers, store the cooked eggs and sausage in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, you should keep the fresh spinach and tomatoes separate until you are ready to eat. When you want to reheat the dish, simply microwave the egg and meat mixture for 45-60 seconds before assembling your bowl.

Loaded Breakfast Scramble Bowl FAQ

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes, absolutely. You can easily substitute the cheddar cheese for your favorite plant-based cheese alternative, or you can skip the cheese entirely and top the bowl with sliced avocado instead.

Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?

While you can use thawed and drained frozen spinach, fresh baby spinach is highly recommended because it provides a much better texture for a breakfast bowl.
