large eggs: Eggs are the main protein base. You can substitute with liquid egg whites for a lower-fat option, or use a mix of eggs and egg whites to balance flavor and nutrition. Plant-based egg alternatives like JUST Egg can also work for a vegan version.
lean turkey sausage, crumbled: This adds protein and savory flavor. You can swap it with breakfast turkey sausage, chicken sausage, or plant-based sausage for a vegetarian option.
diced bell peppers: Bell peppers add color, crunch, and nutrients. Feel free to use any color or replace them with diced sweet potatoes, green onions, or even zucchini for variety.
coconut oil: Coconut oil provides a rich flavor, but for a lighter option, use olive oil or nonstick spray. Butter or ghee can add a creamy texture if preferred.
Optional toppings: Toppings like cheddar cheese, onion powder, or hot sauce boost flavor. For dairy-free options, try nutritional yeast or plant-based cheese. Other toppings like salsa or fresh herbs can brighten it up too!
