Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 4 eggs, cooked to your liking (soft boiled recommended)
Vegetables
- 8 ounces white button mushrooms, halved
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups baby spinach, packed
- 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
Other Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups hummus (homemade or quality store-bought)
- Extra virgin olive oil, for cooking and drizzling
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Seasoning of your choice (e.g., Aleppo pepper, za’atar – about 1 teaspoon each)
- Olives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the eggs: Prepare the eggs according to your preferred style. Soft boiled eggs are recommended; boil them for about 6-7 minutes until the yolks are soft in the center. You can also scramble or fry the eggs if preferred. Boiled eggs can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
- Sauté the mushrooms: Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the halved mushrooms and season with kosher salt. Cook for about 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the mushrooms are nicely browned on both sides.
- Cook tomatoes, spinach, and garlic: Add the cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and minced garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms. Add another pinch of kosher salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the tomatoes are warmed through and the spinach is wilted.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked vegetable mixture evenly among 4 bowls. Place the cooked eggs on top, then spoon about 1/2 cup of hummus into each bowl. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the hummus if desired for extra richness.
- Season and garnish: Sprinkle your preferred seasonings, such as about 1 teaspoon each of Aleppo pepper and za’atar, over each bowl. Add olives if using. Serve immediately to enjoy a savory, nutrient-rich breakfast.
Notes
- Soft boiled eggs can be prepared in advance and kept for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
- Adjust seasoning and spices according to your taste preferences.
- For a vegan or vegetarian option, substitute eggs with tofu scramble or additional sautéed vegetables.
- Use good quality hummus for better flavor, or make your own for customization.
- Olives are optional but add a nice briny contrast to the dish.
