Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
Toppings
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 large eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Warm the Base: Gently heat 1 cup of cooked rice or quinoa until warm, either in a microwave or on the stovetop. Divide the warmed grains evenly into serving bowls to form the base of the meal.
- Prepare the Avocados: Slice a ripe avocado into thin pieces. Drizzle the slices with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to prevent browning and maintain freshness.
- Cook the Eggs: Cook 2 large eggs according to your preference, with fried or poached being recommended for best texture and flavor. Use a non-stick pan with a small amount of oil or water for poaching as desired.
- Assemble the Bowls: Arrange the lemon-dressed avocado slices atop the warm rice or quinoa. Place the cooked eggs on top or alongside. Season the entire bowl generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the avocado breakfast bowls immediately while warm for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Use quinoa for a gluten-free and higher-protein alternative to rice.
- Lemon juice helps keep avocado slices fresh and prevents discoloration.
- Poached eggs add moisture without added fat; fried eggs provide a richer flavor.
- Add hot sauce or fresh herbs like cilantro for extra flavor if desired.
- Ensure eggs are cooked to your liking for safety and taste preferences.
