Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
Vegetables and Starches:
- 2 medium russet potatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- Salsa or hot sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium temperature, introducing diced potatoes and allowing them to transform into a golden, crispy landscape. Elevate the flavor profile with strategic seasoning of salt, pepper, and smoky paprika.
- Execute bacon preparation in a parallel cooking vessel, rendering it into a delightfully crunchy state. Transfer the crisp strips to an absorbent towel surface and fragment into bite-sized morsels.
- Create a delicate egg mixture by incorporating milk and whisking thoroughly. Gently coax the eggs to a soft-set consistency over moderate heat, seasoning with subtle salt and pepper undertones.
- Craft individual culinary compositions by strategically layering the crisp potatoes as a foundational element. Position the scrambled eggs atop the potato base, allowing melted cheese to cascade and embrace the warm eggs.
- Enhance the bowl’s visual and flavor complexity by artfully distributing chopped bacon, vibrant diced tomatoes, and creamy avocado slices. Crown the creation with fresh cilantro and a provocative drizzle of salsa or zesty hot sauce.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for the best crispy texture that holds shape during cooking.
- Pat potatoes dry before frying to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent soggy results.
- Customize the heat level by selecting mild or spicy salsa according to personal preference.
- Transform this recipe into a vegetarian option by replacing bacon with crispy seasoned tofu or roasted mushrooms.
