I enjoy eating a hearty breakfast. It’s a great way to start my day and eating breakfast provides me with some quality time together.

I don’t know about your family, but at my house we love breakfast. Sometimes on weekends, I will sleep in just a little later than normal. After I revel in my triumphal extra few minutes of sleep, I hop out of bed and whip up some brunch. It’s great because brunch covers both breakfast and lunch, so I actually eat just two meals that particular day.

Omelets are high on my favorites list and are one of my most frequent breakfast meals. I just love being able to have all of those fresh veggies, meat, eggs and cheese all in one glorious combination. One day I was feeling lazy and decided that instead of creating a beautifully folded omelet, I would just throw everything into a couple of bowls. Here’s what I did:

These delicious Breakfast Bowls are great because you can add your favorite ingredients, spices, and seasonings. 

I recently discovered some delicious sausages that are all natural, preservative and MSG free. Plus, they taste great.

In one skillet, I cooked the sausage patties on medium heat until they were fully cooked and brown on both sides. In another skillet, I cooked a pound of bacon.

While the sausages were cooking I chopped up the veggies and shredded some cheddar cheese.

I love the combination of red bell peppers, spinach, onions, fresh mushrooms and a touch of cheddar cheese.

It only took a few minutes to saute the veggies in a little olive oil. While the veggies, bacon, and sausages were cooking, I made a batch of scrambled eggs. I whisked together 5 eggs, (they were small), a dash of salt and 3 tablespoons of milk. (I didn’t use any pepper because the sausage had pepper in it and the hubby could always add more on his own). 

While the eggs were cooking I chopped the sausages into bite-size chunks.

See the flecks of pepper in the cooked sausage?

Since I staggered the cooking and preparation of the sausage, eggs and veggies, all of the ingredients were ready at the same time. Now the fun part. I started to layer the ingredients into two separate serving bowls. First a layer of veggies topped with chopped sausage.

Next, I added a layer of scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, freshly chopped spinach and cooked bacon. Repeat the layering process and top with a final touch of cheddar cheese.

 I can’t begin to tell you how delicious these Breakfast Bowls are. I’m not sure that I will ever make another folded omelet again, (wink, wink). These Breakfast Bowls are great for dinner too. They are a complete meal; all in one bowl.

Oh, did I mention that these are naturally gluten-free? Just be sure to use fresh veggies and gluten free meats and cheese.

What ingredients would you use to create your very own Breakfast Bowls?
