Warm, savory, and just a little sweet, this breakfast bowl is the kind of morning meal that actually keeps you full and satisfied for hours. Spiced ground pork gets cooked down with fresh sage, cinnamon, and ginger before being tossed with softened diced apple — a combination that smells absolutely incredible and tastes even better. Caramelized plantain slices bring a naturally sweet, tender base that soaks up all those savory juices beautifully. A fried egg on top ties everything together with richness, and an optional drizzle of maple syrup takes the whole bowl somewhere special. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and whole-food based, so there's no need to scrutinize labels for sneaky fillers or hidden additives. It's a genuinely hearty, nourishing start to the day that feels indulgent without any of the compromise.

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped sage, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and 3/4 tsp salt. Mix with your hands until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned pork and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, for 6–8 minutes until browned throughout with no pink remaining and an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Transfer the cooked pork to a bowl and set aside, leaving any rendered fat in the skillet.
