Introduction

This High-Protein Egg, Bacon and Avo Breakfast Bowl is a simple, satisfying breakfast made with crispy bacon medallions, hard-boiled eggs, creamy avocado, red onion and fresh red bell pepper.

Eggs and bacon provide a savoury, protein-rich foundation, while avocado adds a creamy texture and naturally occurring healthy fats. Finely chopped red onion and bell pepper add freshness, crunch and colour, creating a balanced breakfast bowl without the need for bread, grains or sugary sauces.

With only five ingredients, this easy Primal breakfast bowl is quick to assemble and works particularly well for busy mornings or meal prep. The eggs can be boiled in advance, leaving only the bacon to cook before everything is combined.

It's also a convenient high-protein keto breakfast when you want something made from simple ingredients rather than shakes, bars or heavily processed breakfast foods.

Benefits of All the Ingredients

Bacon Medallions

Bacon medallions provide savoury flavour and additional protein while generally containing less visible fat than streaky bacon.

As a pork product, bacon provides complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids, along with nutrients including thiamine, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, selenium and zinc.

For a Primal approach, choose good-quality bacon medallions with a straightforward ingredient list and without unnecessary added sugars, starches or fillers.

Bacon can naturally be relatively high in sodium, so the bowl may not require any additional salt.

Hard-Boiled Eggs

Eggs provide another substantial source of high-quality protein.

They contain all nine essential amino acids and provide several important nutrients, including vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus and choline.

Egg yolks also contain fat-soluble nutrients and carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin.

Hard-boiled eggs are particularly convenient for meal preparation because they can be cooked ahead and refrigerated until needed.

Avocado

Avocado provides a creamy contrast to the eggs and crispy bacon.

It is particularly rich in monounsaturated fat, predominantly oleic acid, while also providing dietary fibre, potassium, folate and vitamin E.

The combination of fat and fibre makes avocado a satisfying addition to a protein-rich breakfast bowl.

Its mild flavour also works particularly well with eggs and bacon without needing a separate creamy dressing.

Red Onion

Finely chopped red onion adds crunch and a slightly sharp flavour that cuts through the richness of the eggs, bacon and avocado.

Red onions provide small amounts of vitamin C and folate and contain naturally occurring plant compounds, including quercetin and anthocyanins.

Using only a tablespoon provides plenty of flavour without overpowering the other ingredients.

Red Bell Pepper

Red bell pepper adds freshness, natural sweetness, colour and crunch.

It is particularly rich in vitamin C and also provides provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin B6 and folate.

The fresh pepper creates a useful contrast to the cooked bacon and eggs while complementing the creamy avocado.

Finely chopping it ensures that every spoonful of the Egg, Bacon and Avo Breakfast Bowl gets a little freshness and crunch.
