How to Make Sausage and Egg Breakfast Bowls.
Step 1: Cook the Hash Browns
Spread your frozen hash browns in an even layer in your air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 11 minutes, shaking once halfway through. If you don’t have an air fryer, just cook them according to the package directions—crispy golden edges are the goal here!
Step 2: Make the Sausage and Eggs
While the hash browns crisp up, whisk two eggs in a bowl and stir in the turkey sausage crumbles. Pour into a medium pan over medium-high heat and scramble gently until just set, keeping them nice and soft.
Step 3: Assemble and Top
Spoon the hot, golden hash browns into a bowl, pile on your savory sausage-scrambled eggs, and finish with those two glorious tablespoons of queso cheese sauce. Dive in while it’s warm and melty!
Pro Tips for Making Sausage and Egg Breakfast Bowls.
- Hash Brown Heroics: Don’t overcrowd the air fryer or pan—let those potatoes breathe so they crisp up beautifully rather than steam!
- Ultra-Creamy Eggs: Pull the eggs off the heat while they’re still slightly glossy—carryover cooking will finish them perfectly soft.
- Queso Magic: Warm your cheese sauce for 10 seconds in the microwave so it drizzles easily and coats every bite with cheesy goodness.
- Shortcut Sausage: Fully cooked turkey sausage crumbles save time, but feel free to use freshly cooked links or patties; just chop small before adding.
How to Serve Sausage and Egg Breakfast Bowls.
Garnishes
Brighten up your Sausage and Egg Breakfast Bowls with a sprinkle of chopped green onions, a dash of hot sauce, or fresh cilantro. Avocado slices or a dusting of smoked paprika also add eye-catching color and extra flavor.
Side Dishes
While these bowls are super satisfying on their own, you can round out your meal with fresh fruit, a tangy side of salsa, or a toasted English muffin for dipping. If you have a sweet tooth, pair with a glass of orange juice or a small cinnamon roll.
Creative Ways to Present
Serve your Sausage and Egg Breakfast Bowls in fun mason jars for a breakfast-on-the-go option, or pile everything into mini cast iron skillets for a brunch-worthy feast. Hosting friends? Create a DIY bowl bar with different toppings and sauces—everyone builds their own masterpiece!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you have leftovers, let the Sausage and Egg Breakfast Bowls cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. They’ll happily stay fresh in the fridge for up to three days, making them perfect for meal prep breakfasts.
Freezing
You can freeze components separately—hash browns, eggs with sausage, and queso each in their own containers—for up to two months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and assemble fresh for best texture; avoid freezing assembled bowls for ideal results.
Reheating
Reheat your breakfast bowl in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between sessions for even warming. For extra crispiness, rewarm the hash browns in the air fryer or toaster oven and add the eggs and queso just before serving.
FAQs
-
Can I use regular breakfast sausage instead of turkey sausage?
Absolutely! Feel free to substitute any cooked sausage you enjoy—pork, chicken, or a veggie crumble all work beautifully. Just be sure it’s fully cooked and chopped into bite-sized pieces before adding to the eggs.
-
What can I use besides the queso cheese sauce?
If you don’t have queso, try shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite melting cheese. A drizzle of salsa or a spoon of Greek yogurt works for a lighter topping too!
-
How can I make these Sausage and Egg Breakfast Bowls ahead for meal prep?
Cook the hash browns and egg-sausage mixture in advance, cool, and store in separate containers. In the morning, reheat and assemble with warm cheese sauce—breakfast will be on your table in minutes!
-
Can I add more vegetables to my breakfast bowl?
Yes! Sautéed peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, or diced tomatoes all taste amazing in these bowls—just cook any extra veggies before mixing with the eggs and sausage for a perfectly balanced bowl.
Final Thoughts
I hope you’ll give these Sausage and Egg Breakfast Bowls a try and turn your next breakfast or brunch into something memorable. It’s hearty, quick, full of comfort, and (best of all) endlessly customizable—just the thing to brighten up any morning!
