Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 eggs, cooked to your liking (soft boiled recommended)
- 8 ounces white button mushrooms, halved
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups baby spinach, packed
- 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 cups hummus (homemade or quality store-bought)
Seasonings & Extras
- 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 eggs to your preferred style, with soft boiled recommended. For soft boiled eggs, boil them for about 6-7 minutes to achieve a soft center. Alternatively, scramble or fry the eggs to your liking. Boiled eggs can also be cooked in advance and refrigerated.
- 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 approximately 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until mushrooms are golden brown on both sides.
- Cook Tomatoes, Spinach, and Garlic: Into the skillet with mushrooms, add cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and minced garlic. Sprinkle with another pinch of kosher salt. Cook together for 2 to 3 minutes, until the tomatoes are warmed through and spinach is wilted.
- Assemble the Bowls: Evenly divide the cooked mushroom, spinach, and tomato mixture among 4 bowls. Place the cooked eggs on top of each bowl, then add 1/2 cup of hummus to each.
- Season and Garnish: Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the hummus if desired. Sprinkle your preferred seasonings such as Aleppo pepper and za’atar (about 1 teaspoon each) on top. Add olives as an optional garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your savory, nutrient-rich breakfast.
Notes
- Soft boiled eggs are recommended for best texture, but you can use scrambled or fried eggs.
- Cooked boiled eggs can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator for convenience.
- Use quality extra virgin olive oil for best flavor.
- Seasonings such as Aleppo pepper and za’atar can be adjusted to taste or substituted with other spices.
- Olives are optional but add a nice salty contrast.
