Ingredients
- 1 russet potato
- 1-2 eggs
- 2 TBSP black beans
- 1 TBSP plain greek yogurt or sour cream (skip for paleo)
- 1 TBSP Sliced Jalapenos
- 1-2 TBSP diced or mashed avocado
- 2-3 tsp salsa (fresh or jarred) or to taste

MORE TASTY TOPPING IDEAS
- Pico de Gallo
- guacamole
- veggie bacon bits
- Sautéed veggies (onion, pepper, etc...)
- crumbled veggie "sausage"
- fresh spinach
- grated cheese
Instructions
- Wash and dry a russet potato. Pierce a few times (in different spots) with a fork or knife. Cook via microwave for a speedy breakfast or you can plan ahead and bake the potato while you make coffee.
- Once your spud is hot and fluffy, splice vertically.
- While your potato cooked scramble up an egg or two or pan-fry sunny side up - whichever method you love!
- Season egg(s) with salt and pepper and place at the center of your potato.
- Next add your toppings! Have fun with it and mix and match your favorites. I like to add black beans, jalapeno, salsa and a dollop of sour cream or greek yogurt.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- As for my T-Rex chefs, you were waiting for me to mention bacon weren't you? Bacon... Crumbled Sausage... Ham... any breakfast meat that tickles your fancy will work. As long as you acknowledge that veggies are superior, you can eat all the bacon you want without me passing an inkling of judgement. Mwah!
