This filling, savory, and healthy breakfast bowl is a Copycat Jimmy Dean Breakfast bowl, but healthier and almost as fast to make at home. You’ll love that this high-protein breakfast is low in calories and points yet keeps you satisfied all morning.
Think you are too busy in the morning to make these? Think again! This breakfast bowl can be prepped in just 5 minutes. Even better, prep the ingredients the night before, then just sauté and you’re done.
What is a Breakfast Bowl?
Breakfast bowls are just that. . . breakfast in a bowl. You can make sweet breakfast bowls or savory ones. As much as I love sweets, I’ve found that savory is the way to go for breakfast. Eating sweets early in the day tends to trigger my sweet tooth, and I find myself craving sugar all day.
Have you ever had a frozen Jimmy Dean breakfast bowl? They are delicious, however, they come in at 490 calories per bowl and contain 37 grams of fat.
Our one-bowl meal is only 300 calories and 14 grams of fat. It also contains a whopping 16 grams of protein.
What Ingredients Do I Need to Make Hearty Breakfast Bowls?
All you need are a few ingredients. You can vary these bowls and add what you like or have on hand.
- onionfinely diced, pre-chopped fresh or frozen work to cut down on prep time
- zucchini, or other veggies of your choice
- frozen diced hash brown potatoessuch as Ore-Ida
- olive oil or cooking spray, but the tiny bit of oil is worth it for the flavor and texture
- salt
- eggs

Tips and Tricks For Making this Potato and Egg Breakfast
Here are some helpful suggestions when making this breakfast recipe for one person.
- Adding water to scrambled eggs before cooking makes them fluffy. Adding milk makes them creamy.
- When scrambling eggs, do not overcook. Remove the skillet from the heat when the eggs are still a bit liquid. They will continue to set for a minute after cooking. This makes them soft and creamy instead of rubbery.
- Depending on your calorie or points allowance for the day, this recipe is also good with breakfast meat or cheese.
What Should I Eat with the Breakfast Bowl?
A perfect side to this would be our 2-ingredient dough bagels or a serving of fresh fruit.
How Long Does The Bowl Last?
Breakfast bowls may be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator or freezer, but the texture will not be as good. They are best eaten fresh.
How Do I Store/Can I Freeze Breakfast Bowls?
Store in the refrigerator in meal prep containers for up to 5 days. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 1 ½ to 2 minutes.

How to Make the Hearty & Healthy Breakfast Bowl in 5 Easy Steps (with Photos!)
Here’s a guide to making this easy breakfast.
Step 1: Gather the ingredients.
You could add turkey sausage, ground chicken or bacon for a more meaty meal. Just adjust the calories or points as needed.
Step 2: Saute onions and potatoes.
Place a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Add ½ tsp olive oil. Add onion and hash browns to the skillet. Stir to evenly coat vegetables with oil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring once or twice for even browning.
Step 3: Prepare the eggs.
While potatoes and onions are cooking, crack 2 eggs into a bowl for scrambled eggs. Add 1 Tbsp water. Beat with a fork until well blended.
Step 4: Add zucchini.
Add zucchini to the skillet. Sprinkle all vegetables with salt. Another option is to cook the veggies in your air fryer, although I tried both methods and found I prefer the taste of skillet-cooked.
Cook for 3-5 minutes until zucchini is starting to brown, but not mushy. Place vegetables into a serving bowl.
You’re almost finished, and breakfast will be served.
Step 5: Cook the eggs.
Add remaining ½ tsp olive oil to the skillet. Pour eggs into skillet and turn once or twice to create scrambled eggs. Eggs will cook in about 1 minute because the skillet is already hot.
Top vegetables with eggs and serve.
