Everything you love about the classic breakfast sandwich — eggs, sausage, cheese, and a toasted muffin — but reimagined in a lighter, low-carb McMuffin Bowl.

This breakfast is high in protein, easy to meal prep, and totally customizable. You get all the warm, savory comfort of the drive-thru favorite, but made with real ingredients and no artificial extras. Serve it up hot and fresh, or portion it out for a week of breakfast wins.

Healthy Fast Food at Home never tasted so satisfying.

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs or ½ cup egg whites

  • 2 turkey sausage patties, chopped

  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar or dairy-free cheese

  • ½ whole grain English muffin, toasted and chopped (optional for crunch)

  • ½ tbsp olive oil or cooking spray

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • Optional toppings: diced tomato, avocado, green onion, hot sauce

 

Instructions:

  1. Scramble the eggs
    Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and scramble until just set. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat the sausage
    Add chopped turkey sausage to the pan to warm through (1–2 minutes).

  3. Build your bowl
    In each bowl, layer scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheese. Sprinkle chopped, toasted English muffin on top (if using). Add any optional toppings.

  4. Serve warm
    Enjoy immediately, or store in airtight containers for up to 4 days for a meal-prepped morning.

 

Sarah’s Tips:

  • Dairy-free? Use a plant-based cheddar or skip the cheese — it’s still delish.

  • Make it meatless: Swap in veggie sausage or sautéed mushrooms.

  • Want extra greens? Stir in baby spinach or arugula during the last minute of cooking.

  • Low carb? Skip the muffin and add diced avocado or cauliflower hash.

 

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Homemade Egg McMuffin Bowl is cozy, fast, and full of real-food flavor — all the comfort of a breakfast sandwich, minus the drive-thru. Easy to prep, fun to customize, and made to power your morning.
