The Breakfast I Ate (almost) Every Day for 10 Years 

This is a fantastic recipe, but I'd like to call out you saying that this recipe isn't "revolutionary". That's one of the main reasons this recipe is so good. As a cooking novice, a lot of instructional cooking content out there is aimed at (im guessing here) intermediate+ cooks, mostly because I figure the more difficult recipes look more impressive and thus get more clicks. The hardest thing for me when it comes to cooking is dealing with the "trial period" of a new recipe, and the more universal the ingredients, the less painful this part is. Every ingredient used in this video is a kitchen staple, and the principle you espouse of Potatoes Meat Eggs is a good way to call back to the fundamentals of *why* this dish works in the first place. It's a rare example of content that bridges the gap between the abstract fundamentals and a recipe tutorial. Other things you do well: - You take the time to introduce each ingredient and show the full prep process, even for something as simple as a potato. - Just showing us the nutritional label on the container (I'm not sure why I appreciate it being part of the shot like that but it's nice, maybe it feels more "real") - Not trying to oversimplify what you're doing, I appreciated that you didn't at any point say "just make scrambled eggs with your meat and veg" even if that is what you're doing - Using the simplest available tool (not sure if you did this on purpose or just #budgetlife) - Not including unnecessary measurements for seasoning etc. You do show how much you're putting in which is good, measuring seasoning isn't bad or anything but it is very much a "feel" thing, and the only way to develop the feel is to try.

Something this is also underrated for is how you can expand it, meat eggs potatoes. Throw in some chorizo and a tortilla you have a breakfast burrito. If you swap out rice for the Tate’s you can throw on soy sauce and make a Japanese style thing with spam or fish. Throw it in a pita role with chickpeas and Tika misala tatziki or tahini. I get bored with food and stop eating all together. This can fix that for you

“Sauce pretty thickened but still a bit runny” my dude that was seasoned water 😂

I’m a college student and find it so hard to make time for breakfast. Usually if you meal prep before it’s a huge commitment or I end up making an egg and a piece of toast and get hungry quick after. Love the idea of doing this quick before bed and heating it up to fuel me through my 8 am! Excited to try it!

My great aunt lived to be 94 and ate the same breakfast every morning from when I was a little girl in the 1970s until her passing in 2004: a bowl of maple brown sugar cream of wheat, one slice of whole wheat toast, fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee. Breakfast of champions!

This is genuinely going to be my go-to channel for recipies. Been needing a good meal plan

Sir, this is the way. I'm 55 and have tried everything for breakfast... cereals, overnight oatmeal, but the best has always been eggs/meat/potatoes. I just feel better after eating real food instead of processed cereals and oats. Peace! Pete in AZ.

This looks so easy and delicious I think I'll meal prep it for night shifts this weekend. Have a bunch of leftover potatoes from Thanksgiving, the one time I buy potatoes in a year. I also love adding in the kale, which I try to sneak into pretty much everything. Thanks for the great idea!

Ive been on a strict diet for about 10 months now (im down 127 lbs!!!!), and i have fallen into the same routine. Eggs, meat, cheese, potatoes. I need to start throwing in the kale or spinach as well. Ive been adding green onions. My favorite protein to add is chicken breast but ill def start trying the cottage cheese. I look forward to breakfast every morning!

Not going to lie I thought this was going to be a video mashup of every breakfast you’ve had for the past 10 years but I am pleasantly surprised for the recipe!

Dude, you came out of no where with these awesome recipes. These and the burrito are absolutely amazing. And the little leath facts you throw in like about the eggs and cholesterol are very informative. Keep making videos they’re amazing! Thank you!

Not sure if I’ll ever cook this, but I will say I love how well you’ve made this video. Im sure you’ll do well on this platform. Cheers!

so i just finished making something very similar for lunch today after watching your vid last night. 340g of spudlite potatoes, 125g of chicken mince, 50g of mushrooms, 75g of frozen spinach, 3 large egg whites, 2 lite laughing cow cheese, low cal bbq sauce and sriracha and its so delicious and around 510 cal with 46g of protein so im so thrilled i found your vid!! cant wait to see more awesome content

I love channel. We need these type of recipes to stay healthy and continue to stay consistent.

This was so delicious! I used bell peppers, spinach, and thanksgiving ham. My girlfriend and I loved it!

I just made a crust-less quiche adapted from this same basic recipe. 🥰👌

It's cool seeing the influences from other food RU-vidrs I watch. I love how simple and easy and down to earth your recipes have been so far. Pumped for the next one! Also, one thing I'd suggest is maybe moving the camera back for some of the cooking shots? Some of them felt a little claustrophobic haha.

Perfectly simple and straightforward but also shows that simple and straightforward doesn’t mean boring and bland, earned my subscription 😎🤙

This concept is similar to what I do for every meal. Best thing is you can switch up elements easily depending what you have on hand or what your preferences are. Like when I was vegan, I would basically have this but sub the eggs for scrambled tofu or beans and maybe 'meat' slices if I had them. Such a simple concept and so tasty

You saved my life and I wish I had this recipe long ago. I love eggs so much but I felt stuck either eating an egg with bacon or oatmeal. I’m so tired of oatmeal so I’m excited to try this! Appreciate the affordability as well. 🤲

Making this tonight, I do my best to make my meals everyday too but I've always struggled with breakfast prep and I'm not a fussy guy so this fits. Substituting cilantro for green onions and skipping the shredded cheese. And ground turkey instead of the turkey bacon.

Just made this and it’s great! Have to say though these portion sizes are insane. Had me thinking I messed up the recipe somehow lol. Tested out two portions this morning for my girlfriend and I and her eyes lit up in horror as she gazed down on this mass of food lmao.

Parsley adds a freshness to dishes but if you put on the heat too early it will cook the flavor out added it at the end of your meal. If you have fresh parsley added it right after you turn the heat off! Great video!

Great content! These videos are so well done, and the ideas and information are awesome. Your channel has a bright future. Subscribed

AMAZING!! I'm excited to try it!

I've been eating the same thing for breakfast for at least 2 years now and some people find it strange but I don't. It is almost a comfort because it doesn't change. I eat an egg sandwich, sometimes with bacon but usually not. I don't like to add cheese directly into my eggs so I add it to the sandwich. Again, it's comforting and I don't get near as hungry as eating something else. Thank you for the video!

Thanks dude, I've not been eating well lately and this seems like a good place to start

This is awesome! I can definitely make this plant=based, I love eating a hearty breakfast and this recipe would work for lunch on those days when I do feel like eating oatmeal.

hey man love your recipes so far and looking forward to your content! u have an awesome channel so far :)

You ate this for 10 yrs ,you must have been in jail .

Thank you. Followed after just watching a few videos. This is food prep that doesn’t take half a Sunday to do.

I made this for my partner and I, we don't have very big appetites so I split this into six meals instead of three (three for each of us) and it's delicious! I add in mushrooms and top mine with sour cream as well, it goes perfectly. I'll definitely be making this all the time since breakfast always seems to be difficult for us to plan for

Instant sub, this is quality content. Great work dude

I love this video well done! Definitely going to try it out this weekend haha

Looks good man, gonna try it.

i also eat almost the same thing every morning. a smoothie with several fruits and protein powder and a grilled cheese with low sugar ketchup. it feels great

I do the same thing, though I vary up the potatoes with sweet potatoes or rice. I usually stick with spinach, mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes, or cabbage if I’m really trying to add lots of low calorie volume on a cut.

My breakfast is normally a giant baby spinach salad with homemade salad dressing EVO as the base. I’ll throw in eggs sometimes bacon. You’re supposed to eat 5 cups of salad a day, more if you’re a bigger person. It is a huge amount 7-10oz worth. For me it makes me energized while not feeling full and bloated down. (Sometimes you’ll need a snack in between lunch and breakfast lol)

I would like to make a recommendation if I may: When it comes to this magnificent source of life, also known as potato, you should aim for a type with yellow flesh. Preferably an old variety which hasnt been molested much and is close to it's original form. Not only are those delicious, they contain more nutrients aswell. Sincerely, a potato lover from across the pond ❤

the spices taste better that way cause they hydrate. most garlic powder and other powders need time to hydrate~

Great content, Bro. Looking forward to more!

Never cooked a potato in a microwave until a couple months ago...I usually eat bacon/sausage, egg, onion, bell peppers and potato (pan fried) when I cook breakfast. I'll try microwaving sometime since cooking the potato takes the longest amount of time. I'll try adding kale or broccoli, what ever is cheaper for some greens for my breakfast. I also use siracha as my sauce.

This is genius. Will try for sure.

Never thought about prepping these. A couple days in advance man - great idea!

Great vid, you think like I do the way you explain! So I've been developing a weight loss 10 year breakfast. 2 hard boiled eggs, cup of yogurt, handful berries. Then EITHER oatmeal with spoon on peanut butter OR Avocado toast (recommend frozen avocado chunks, way less prep) Love to get your thoughts.

I'm not gonna lie, I normally don't connect to these meal ideas on RU-vid but this one has got me. Looks great and I'll definitely be doing it.

Wow looks absolutely delicious and tempting 😍

Thank you for this recipe. This is now one of my regular breakfast dishes and I've changed it up here and there time to time. I'm working through all your videos and every single one so far are just awesome. You use ingredients like a "lazy" cook. I mean that kindly because I am also a lazy cook. I want fast, tasty and easy cleanup. On top of that you do it in such a way where it's possible to meal prep for the week too. Plus, the ingredients can change time to time! So I love this format. Like here is the base, and the rest is interchangeable. Cilantro? Sure. Different spices? Hell yeah! Different meat? Totally! Personally I make a smaller serving than you (2 eggs, 1 potato) and do it on the day I make it, but the option to meal prep is there and I love that because I know I can store these if I can't finish it. Even my smaller serving is too much for me in one sitting! Haha Thank you for sharing your recipes 💚

We do eggs in fried potatoes n onions n garlic, sometimes celery Bake pots ahead. Scramble eggs right in. Cheese on top is good but generally its a glass of kefir with it. Kids don’t like greens in it so they’re on the side. I love greens tho n prefer them in it. Shrms great too. We only have meat at dinner as I can’t afford it. Dahl n brown rice or whole-wheat chapatis for lunch everyday but 1.

Ethan, youre the man. My first of many go at this: - single serving - 2 smallish russet potatoes, skin massaged w/evoo (my microwave doesnt allow me to select the number of potatoes; it took 3 times on the potato selection until the skin was crispy to my liking; def altogether shorter than 15 min by prolly half) - already cooked chicken thigh meat heated up in pan (maybe equivalent to 1 v small thigh); 3 small garlic cloves chopped up added; 1/5 can of black beans w/juice added - after that has cooked to my liking move it all to side of pan and add evoo and scramble 2 eggs in the pan slowly incorporating everything else periodically (dont overcook eggs, theyll cook more in next step) - break up potatoes in the bowl they cooked in; add slice american cheese; add pan mixture; black pepper/hot sauce to taste; nuke 30 sec - combine everything; more hot sauce/black pepper to taste; add cold good quality marinara sauce to taste; add fresh italian parsley to taste *chefs kiss*

I do something similar. I cook it as a frittata in a very large pan, then slice it into 16 slices. A meal is usually 2 slices, sometimes just 1 for a sandwich or taco. The base is about 10 large eggs, 2 large diced potatoes, about 1 large diced onion. Then I usually add a generous amount of mushroom, kale and either salsa or marina for flavor and nutrition. I eat it just about every morning on a sandwich, taco or burrito. Taco is the cheapest since corn tortillas cost about 3 cents each. I don't add any meat or cheese to the frittata, because I found those flavors tend to disappear into it. It's better to add small amounts of meat or cheese as a topping when serving to maximize flavor and minimize cost.

Quality vids, can't wait to see more ideas!

Somehow I’ve never thought of just baking and smashing up the potatoes, that’s brilliant . The extra effort of making a hash or hash browns usually keeps me from bothering to add them, and I just go with plain scrambled eggs.

GOOD IDEA. Thanks. I am Hungarian and we have a dish which is similar to this and every body really loves it .

PME is a good acronym for your dish. OR Pem if you wanna name it lol. Awesome simple walkthrough on this dish; gotta try it out

Making this for my husband! Looks delicious and he needs the macros!

re:wondering if parsley does anything for flavor, try putting some dried parsley in some hot water and giving it a good sniff. those volatile flavor compounds that are released are what's going into your food, and while they may be earthy and or even overbearing in isolate, it brings that earthiness to the dish, and can help round out an otherwise thin tasting base

Looks good! I think I would throw that in the oven for about 20 minutes though just to melt everything and brown the potatoes a bit.......just my preference

For a similar breakfast, I use oats instead of potatoes/beans because oats are not only cheaper than but higher in protein. Usually the vegetable is only onions/garlic, although if I find a cabbage on offer, use cabbage.

Actually i think it could be an amazing meal recipe for lunch or dinner i will try ut tomorrow. Otherwise really good video : the way you present the recipe show clearly that it has been 10 years you prep it 😂👍🏻

wonderful. recepes like i’ll actually do not just watch and forget about

Good ideas. Thank you. Also try it by replacing the green vegetables with zucchini, spinach, bell peppers or mushrooms. Or mix all together. Also try at least once since you eat healthy. Fry fresh tortilla chips with olive oil, remove most of the oil, on the same pan with chips add eggs. Once on your plate add ketchup. So good. You can also substitute meat with winnie. So good.

This video is a godsend. Been trying to meal prep for a while and I always get bothered by the large amounts of cooking and prepping time. I woke up this morning, microwaved some potatoes, fried some ham and eggs and added a sprinkle of cheese all within 10 minutes. Great n tasty as well!

I ate the same thing every day for over 5 years. I was eating omad and had chicken and broccoli and cheese. Every. Day... It was the early 2000s, everything was low carb. I was a model and that diet worked well with the job. Oddly enough I still enjoy chicken lol

so simple, can't beat this

Love this; thanks! More recipe videos, please :)

I would only suggest that you switch out the iodized salt to kosher salt. It tastes better (less salty and flakier)::::: among other things.

i just did this as a post workout breakfast. man this is good! I'll have to adjust the amounts tho, because I'm feeling full right now

You are right about the lies we were fed about eggs and cholesterol, which is why I was supposed you are going low fat cottage cheese. Consider the milk fat actually makes the nutrients more bioavailabile. Love this. I use cauliflower in place for some of the potatoes

Kinda interesting the traditional breakfast in England where I live is a fry up. Including eggs, sausages hashbrowns and mushrooms, and toast. Our version is kind of unhealthier though because everything is fried. But tbh noone eats it everyday Your breakfast looks so good btw

Little tip for the potato’s, Wrap them in a damp cloth before putting them in the microwave, the steam/heat will cook them much faster

I like this idea for dinner!

>be me >stumbles across this vid >this bro cares about calories >cares about protein >says a lot of eggs are good and that them being bad is a myth >cares about easible preping food >instantly subscribe to him

I literally made this same breakfast except i fried the potatoes but ill microwave em from now on. Makes it so fast.

It may sound odd, but curry powder and celery salt is very good! That or any Mrs dash with some salt.

I have meal prepped for years and am a damm good cook. This recipe is simple and to the point - I love it. I always try and make things too complicated.

Thanks man.

This looks AMAZING! I'll be trying it soon! PS, there are different types of cholesterol! lol I just wanted to make that point lol Thanks for the awesome vids!!

This looks bomb cannot wait to try

Wow looks so delicious 💗💗💗

I've been drinking a protein smoothie every morning for the last 14 years. It's the best part of my day. But this looks good for lunch or supper.

My 10 year breakfast is oats cinamon and honey. Takes like 5 minutes to eat and make. I will be trying this though

Fantastic video! Fantastic recipe! My one qualm: isn't one portion like 100g of protein? Could it be hard on the ol kidneys a little bit?

I would totally do this but my issue is also lunch and dinner.

Replace the potatoes with some rice or noodles and that’ll be my go to 😋

"What would your 10 year breakfast be" - Unsweetened yogurt, an apple, seeds and berries of all sorts, dehydrated ginger, coconut chips, a slice of pumpernickel bread, whole wheat flakes, possibly mango, pineapple or custard apple if there are any laying around, some nuts. At least the first four ingredients are a daily constant, even when there is no breakfast and dinner is the only meal. Also because the yogurt is used to mix the daily dose of moringa powder together with some matcha to complement.

How do you know when the turkey bacon is cooked?

Echoing the comments about your informative and well-edited content, but I wanted to add that, halfway through the video, I realized you sound almost exactly like Drue Langlois. That monotone not-quite-vocal-fry works really well.

This looks great!!! What kind of meat can i use for this dish? Looks like bacon or jam

Oh man, this is a nice variant of the Hungarian dish called Rakott Krumpli, my favourite food.

Oh man this looks awesome, but I'd probably have to double it. I put AT LEAST 8 eggs in my omlettes, sometimes 12. I have chickens though so it's basically an infinite supply

If you mix your eggs in a quart container by shaking them like a cocktail shaker it is so much faster and more consistent

That does look pretty good. I already got a 10 year dinner and lunch might as well include a 10 year breakfast lmao

Thank you.

this recipe is very similar to mine, eggs, milanesa steak, collard greens, onion, bell pepper and red potato. with hot sauce

Fantastic video and great idea! Bottled lime juice caused me to wince though!

I been eating the same thing for almost 20 yrs. I think I have a new breakfast. Thanks

Russet potatoes also have like 98% of the nutrients of sweet potatoes which get a much better reputation for health compared to other potatoes. Great for potassium for example.

Change it to Oaxaca cheese add corn tortillas and boom breakfast tacos all week! I do chorizo or ham, potatoes matchstick cut with the mandolin, jalapeño, bell pepper, egg. 20 minutes and a weeks worth of snacks. I cook new eggs each day

I mean i basically make some form of hashbrown omelette for mine most mornings. Cant stand boring breakfast. I usually put either sriracha or ghost pepper sauce on there.
