Grab & Go Make Ahead Breakfast Bowls
Print Recipe

Every Sunday, I think of my mom’s kitchen—warm, cozy, and filled with the smell of sizzling hash browns and scrambled eggs. That little bit of prep always made the week easier. Inspired by that memory, I started making these Grab & Go Make Ahead Breakfast Bowls. They’re protein-packed, comforting, and ready in minutes—perfect for anyone with a full day ahead. Try them this weekend and thank yourself every morning after!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12–15 eggs
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp cream (or milk)
  • 4 tbsp canola oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 large green pepper, seeded & diced
  • 1 small yellow onion, peeled & diced
  • 1 package (20 oz) refrigerated diced hash brown potatoes
  • 1 cup chopped ham (or cooked bacon/sausage)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • 1. Scramble the Eggs:

    1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
    2. In a bowl, whisk eggs and cream until smooth.
    3. Pour into the skillet, reduce heat to low, and gently scramble until just underdone. Transfer to a plate.

    2. Cook Hash Browns & Veggies:

    1. In the same skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
    2. Add hash browns, spread evenly, and cook 5 mins without stirring.
    3. Flip, spread again, and cook another 5 mins until crispy.
    4. Add peppers, onions, and ham, stirring well. Cook 5-10 mins until veggies soften.

    3. Assemble Bowls:

    1. Layer in bowls:
      • Scrambled eggs
      • Shredded cheese
      • Hash brown mixture
      • Extra cheese on top
    2. Cool completely, then cover and refrigerate.

    4. Reheat & Serve:

    • Microwave: 1-2 mins until hot.
    • Oven: 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 mins.

Notes

✔ Use a large skillet to avoid overcrowding and ensure crispy hash browns.
✔ Slightly undercook the eggs—they’ll finish cooking when reheated.
✔ Customize with your favorites—swap ham for bacon or sausage, or change up the cheese.
✔ Store in airtight containers for up to 5 days in the fridge.
