Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 avocado
- 6 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 1 handful baby spinach
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 lemon wedge
Instructions
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat another teaspoon of olive oil. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook sunny-side-up for 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Warm the cooked brown rice in the microwave or on the stovetop if it’s cold.
Assemble the breakfast bowl: Place the warmed brown rice at the base of the bowl. Top with sautéed spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado.
Carefully place the sunny-side-up egg on top of the bowl.
Finish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and an additional pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty, nutritious brown rice breakfast bowl!
