Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (optional base)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: Feta cheese, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, or fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley)

Direction

  1. Cook the Eggs:
    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to the pan. Crack the eggs into the skillet, cooking them to your preference: scrambled, fried, or poached. For scrambled eggs, whisk the eggs before adding them to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until just set. For fried eggs, cook for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set, leaving the yolk runny (or cook longer for a fully set yolk). Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Prepare the Base:
    If using quinoa or brown rice as the base of the bowl, start by reheating it in the microwave or on the stovetop until warm. This step is optional, but it adds a hearty and nutritious base to the bowl.

  3. Sauté the Spinach:
    In the same skillet you used to cook the eggs, add the olive oil and heat it over medium. Add the spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

  4. Assemble the Bowl:
    In each bowl, start with a layer of cooked quinoa or brown rice (if using). Then, add a portion of the sautéed spinach on top. Carefully place the cooked eggs on top of the spinach.

  5. Add the Avocado:
    Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Slice or dice the avocado and add it to the bowl beside the eggs and spinach. Drizzle a little lemon juice over the avocado to prevent browning and add extra flavor.

  6. Optional Toppings:
    Top your bowl with any extra toppings you like, such as a sprinkle of feta cheese, a drizzle of hot sauce, or a dash of red pepper flakes. Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley also add a bright, fresh touch.

  7. Serve:
    Serve the avocado and egg bowl immediately while the eggs are still warm. Enjoy with a side of toast or on its own for a complete breakfast.

Tips:

  • Vegan Option: Skip the eggs and use a plant-based protein like chickpeas or tofu scrambled with spinach.
  • Meal Prep: This bowl can be prepped in advance by cooking quinoa, rice, and sautéing spinach ahead of time. Store the components separately and assemble the bowls when ready to eat.
  • Add Protein: For an extra protein boost, consider adding grilled chicken, turkey bacon, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
