Can I make these easy breakfast bowls ahead of time?

While the individual components can be made ahead of time, it’s best to assemble the bowls fresh to maintain the crispy texture of the potatoes. However, you can store the cooked crispy crowns, scrambled eggs, and sausage gravy separately in airtight containers and reheat them when ready to assemble.

Can I use different potatoes for this recipe?

Yes! If you can't find crispy crowns, you can use tater tots, hash browns, or even crispy hash brown patties as a substitute. Each option will offer a slightly different texture, but they will all work well as the base for your easy breakfast bowls.

Can I make these bowls vegetarian-friendly?

Absolutely! You can easily make these breakfast bowls vegetarian by swapping out the sausage gravy for a vegetarian-friendly gravy or mushroom gravy. Additionally, you can substitute the scrambled eggs with tofu scramble for a vegan version.

How can I customize these easy breakfast bowls?

Feel free to add your favorite toppings or ingredients! Sautéed peppers, diced ham, crispy bacon bits, and fresh herbs like green onions or chives are great additions. You can also try different cheeses or add a spicy kick with jalapeños or hot sauce.
