Air Fryer Breakfast Bowls (sausage and egg)

Sausage and egg breakfast bowls are a popular breakfast dish that typically includes scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, and other ingredients such as cheese, potatoes, vegetables, or salsa, all served in a bowl. The potatoes can be cooked in the air fryer which makes for an easy and healthy breakfast in under 10 minutes.

Awhile ago, I wrote a post for Country Breakfast Bowls and that wasn’t very point friendly. 16 smart points to be exact! Now that eggs are zero points and I also have an air fryer, I’ve found a way to make this a little bit healthier and way less points.

The air fryer is one of my favorite kitchen appliances. Check out some of these recipes! Air Fryer Chimichangas, Air Fryer Apple Hand PIes, Air Fryer Grilled Cheese, and Air Fryer Pita Pizzas.

Why You Will Love These Breakfast Bowls

These sausage and egg breakfast bowls come out to be 4 to 5 smart points depending on what type of cheeses you use.

To top off the crispy hash browns, cook some scrambled eggs in a pan with about an 1 oz of turkey sausage and top with cheese! My favorite cheese so far has been the

Tostitos medium con queso sauce. It’s only 1 smart point for 2 tablespoons. This meal takes less than 10 minutes to make too and will be done by the time your hash browns get done cooking!

The Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls are 12 smart points compared to my version which is only 5! I’ve been eating this breakfast for the last 3 days now and just love it. Keeps me full after my gym work out until lunch. Just look at all that yummy cheese sauce on top.

Ingredients Needed

Southern Style Hash Browns (frozen) – Frozen shredded hash browns are a convenient and versatile ingredient for many recipes. They can be used as a base for breakfast dishes such as hash browns or as a side dish for lunch or dinner.
Large eggs – The best type of eggs you can buy at the store are organic or free-range eggs, while others may prefer eggs from specific breeds of chickens
Turkey Sausage Crumbles – or cooked bacon
Tostitos Medium Con Queso Cheese Sauce – This is my favorite cheese sauce to add on top of the breakfast scramble.

Each recipe or food has a Smart Points value. This is calculated using calories, saturated fat, protein, and sugar. It is best to stay away from foods that are loaded with saturated fat and sugar on the plan because those foods are higher in points. When you register with Weight Watchers you are given a daily set of points to target based on your age, gender, height, and activity level. Think of it as an easier way to track your macros.

Do I need to preheat an air fryer?

Some air fryers require preheating and some do not. Be sure to check your air fryer manual.
