Unbelievably easy and downright delicious, this Avocado and Egg Breakfast Bowl is your ticket to a morning where you actually feel like you’ve got your life together. It’s creamy, it’s protein-packed, and it’s got that Instagram-worthy look without any of the fuss.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 lime, juiced

Instructions

  1. Prep the avocado: Scoop out the flesh of the avocado into a bowl, leaving a little bit in the skin to keep it sturdy. Mash it lightly with a fork, then mix in the lime juice, salt, black pepper, and half of the cilantro.
  2. Cook the eggs: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and cook for about 3 minutes for runny yolks or 5 minutes for set yolks.
  3. Assemble the bowl: Spoon the mashed avocado back into the avocado skins. Top each with a cooked egg, then sprinkle with the remaining cilantro. Tip: If you’re feeling fancy, a drizzle of hot sauce or a sprinkle of feta cheese takes this up a notch.
  4. Serve immediately: Enjoy right away while the eggs are still warm and the avocado is cool and creamy. The contrast in temperatures and textures is what makes this dish a morning game-changer.

The creaminess of the avocado pairs perfectly with the richness of the eggs, and that little kick from the red pepper flakes? Chef’s kiss. Try serving it on a slice of toasted sourdough for some crunch, or keep it low-carb and dig in straight from the avocado shell.

Spinach and Feta Omelette

Ever find yourself staring into the fridge at 8 AM, wondering how to turn that sad bunch of spinach and leftover feta into something that doesn’t scream ‘I gave up’? Let’s make a spinach and feta omelette that’s so fluffy, you’ll forget it’s actually good for you.

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Whisk eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper until fully blended and slightly frothy.
  2. Heat pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
  3. Cook spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the pan, sautéing for about 1 minute until just wilted. Tip: Wilt spinach quickly to retain its bright color and nutrients.
  4. Add eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the pan, tilting to spread them evenly. Let cook undisturbed for 20 seconds.
  5. Sprinkle feta: Evenly distribute the crumbled feta over one half of the omelette. Tip: Using your hand to sprinkle ensures even distribution without overloading.

  7. Serve immediately: Slide the omelette onto a plate. The perfect omelette should be golden on the outside and creamy on the inside, with pockets of melted feta and bits of spinach in every bite. Try serving it with a side of avocado or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an extra kick.

  2. Add the granola: Sprinkle half of the granola over the yogurt for that perfect crunch.
  3. Berry time: Now, add half of the mixed berries on top of the granola. If you’re using frozen berries, let them thaw a bit first to avoid icy surprises.
  4. Drizzle honey: Lightly drizzle half of the honey over the berries for a touch of sweetness.
  5. Repeat the layers: Do another layer with the remaining yogurt, granola, berries, and honey. This double-decker approach ensures every bite is packed with flavor.

  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Heat the pan: Warm 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat (about 300°F). Tip: The oil should shimmer but not smoke – that’s your cue it’s ready.
  2. Sauté veggies: Add 1/2 cup diced bell peppers and 1/2 cup diced onions to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Add greens: Toss in 1 cup roughly chopped spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted. Tip: Spinach cooks down a lot, so don’t be shy with the amount.
  4. Whisk eggs: In a bowl, whisk 6 large egg whites with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder until frothy. Tip: No yolk? No problem. This keeps it light and fluffy.
  5. Scramble: Pour the egg whites over the veggies in the skillet. Let them set for about 30 seconds, then gently stir to scramble. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are fully set but still moist.

The scramble comes out light as a cloud with a pop of color from the veggies, and the garlic powder? A tiny but mighty flavor booster. Serve it on toast, or go wild and wrap it in a tortilla with a sprinkle of cheese – because why not?

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder

  • 1/4 cup diced avocado
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro

  2. Sauté beans: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add black beans, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beans are heated through.
  3. Fry eggs: In the same skillet, fry eggs to your preferred doneness. For a runny yolk, cook for about 3 minutes.
  4. Assemble bowl: Divide cooked quinoa between two bowls. Top with sautéed black beans, fried eggs, cheddar cheese, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice.

This bowl is a texture dream—creamy avocado, fluffy quinoa, and a little crunch from the beans, all tied together with a zesty lime kick. Try it with a dollop of sour cream or hot sauce if you’re feeling extra.
