Who knew the recipe that would transform my chaotic mornings actually came from my grandfather’s farm kitchen? After watching him effortlessly feed a dozen farmhands by 6 AM, I realized the secret wasn’t complicated techniques—it was packing maximum protein into a single skillet. This triple-protein powerhouse has been my go-to for fifteen years now.
Easy Triple Protein Breakfast Hash
A hearty skillet combining eggs, beef bacon and breakfast sausage with crispy potatoes for a protein-packed breakfast that fuels your entire morning.
Cook the beef Bacon
Heat a large 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add diced beef bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
Brown the Sausage
Add the breakfast sausage to the same skillet, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to the plate with the beef bacon.
Cook the Potatoes
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet with the remaining fat. Spread in an even layer and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the bottoms begin to brown. Stir and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until potatoes are golden and tender.
Add Aromatics
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the potatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes until vegetables begin to soften. Stir in garlic, smoked paprika, thyme, salt and pepper, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return Proteins and Create Wells
Return the cooked beef bacon and sausage to the skillet, stirring to combine. Using the back of a spoon, create 6 wells in the hash mixture for the eggs.
Add Eggs and Finish
Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny (or cook longer if you prefer firmer eggs). Sprinkle with fresh chives before serving.
High Protein Breakfast Hash Recipe
This Healthy Breakfast has 45g of Protein (Potato hash)
Got only 20 minutes but need fuel that lasts until lunch? This hash delivers an impressive 35g of protein per serving without complicated ingredients. The combination of eggs, sausage, and beef bacon creates a complete amino acid profile that keeps hunger at bay, while the single-skillet approach means minimal cleanup—perfect for busy weekday mornings.
Each bite balances the savory smokiness of beef bacon with the subtle sweetness of bell peppers and onions. The potatoes develop a golden crust that gives way to a tender interior, while the eggs create a silky sauce that brings everything together. The aroma alone will have your family rushing to the table.
Did you know that starting your day with at least 30g of protein can boost metabolism by up to 30% for several hours? This breakfast isn’t just delicious—it’s strategic fuel for your body. Try topping with sliced avocado for healthy fats or a sprinkle of hot sauce to kick-start your metabolism even more.
