This Meaty Breakfast Bowl recipe has room for customization and gives you the freedom to add in your own seasonal vegetables. It’s a wonderful recipe for dad this Father’s Day!
My husband has never been a big breakfast fan. He would prefer to sleep in and wake up for lunch. However, there is one thing that can make his day: breakfast in bed! For Father’s Day this year, I asked him for inspiration to create a delicious breakfast that is worthy of waking up before noon for. He decided that he wanted extra cheese and flavorful meat. With those two guardrails in mind, I whipped up a simple Meaty Breakfast Bowl recipe that will satisfy every member of your family (especially dad!).
Meaty Breakfast Bowl Recipe for Dad
This meaty breakfast bowl has room for customization and gives you the freedom to add in your own seasonal vegetables. Shop local and look for summer vegetables like zucchini, summer squash, and eggplant if desired. This recipe gives you the basic outline for your breakfast bowl, but feel free to add your favorite flavors to make it a unique family breakfast experience. Since my husband enjoys mushrooms and onions, I made sure to use them for his meaty breakfast bowl. I also went a little wild with cilantro because sometimes, you just can’t have enough!
To create the manliest breakfast bowl ever, you will need eggs and ground pork as the focus for this dish. If you want to use sausage links instead, you can. Have extra time? Grill your sausage! Otherwise, prepare your ingredients in a large skillet. This recipe can make enough to share, but only if Dad wants to! Encourage your children to help you in the kitchen. They can help prep vegetables by rinsing them clean or mixing everything together in a large bowl with a spoon.

Notes
Home Chef Tip: Mix it up by adding your own seasonal and local vegetables for a personalized touch.

Top with extra cheese and serve. Dad will appreciate a meal that was created with him in mind. Serve with a cold glass of orange juice alongside a handwritten card to celebrate Father’s Day.
