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
Others
- 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 to your preferred style. Soft boiled eggs are recommended; boil eggs for about 6-7 minutes for a soft center. Alternatively, you can scramble or fry them. Cooked boiled eggs can be made in advance 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 mushrooms are browned on both sides.
- Cook tomatoes, spinach, and garlic: Add cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and minced garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms. Add another pinch of kosher salt. Cook together for 2 to 3 minutes until the tomatoes are warmed through and the spinach is wilted.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked mushroom, spinach, and tomato mixture evenly among 4 bowls. Add the cooked eggs on top, then spoon 1/2 cup of hummus into each bowl. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the hummus if desired.
- Season and garnish: Sprinkle your preferred seasonings over each bowl (about 1 teaspoon each of Aleppo pepper and za’atar suggested). Add olives if using. Serve immediately and enjoy a savory, nutrient-rich breakfast.
Notes
- Soft boiled eggs are preferred for a creamy yolk but feel free to scramble or fry based on your preference.
- You can prepare the boiled eggs ahead and store in the refrigerator for quick assembly in the morning.
- Adjust seasonings like Aleppo pepper and za’atar to taste or replace with your favorite spices.
- Olives are optional but add a nice briny contrast to the dish.
- Use quality hummus for best flavor; homemade hummus can add a fresh touch.
- For a vegan version, omit eggs and consider adding a protein like tofu or tempeh.
