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 for about 6-7 minutes to achieve a soft center. Alternatively, scramble or fry them. You can also make the boiled eggs ahead and refrigerate until needed.
- Sauté the mushrooms: Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the halved mushrooms, season with kosher salt, and 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. Sprinkle another pinch of kosher salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the tomatoes are warmed through and the spinach has wilted.
- Assemble the bowls: Evenly divide the mushroom, spinach, and tomato mixture among 4 bowls. Place the cooked eggs on top and spoon 1/2 cup of hummus into each bowl. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil over the hummus if you like.
- Season and garnish: Sprinkle your preferred seasonings such as Aleppo pepper and za’atar (about 1 teaspoon each) over each bowl. Garnish with olives if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy a savory and nutrient-rich breakfast.
Notes
- Soft boiled eggs bring a creamy texture, but feel free to use scrambled or fried eggs as preferred.
- You can prepare the boiled eggs in advance to save time on busy mornings.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste and experiment with different spices for varied flavor profiles.
- Use extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor and health benefits.
- Optional olives add a salty, briny garnish that complements the dish well.
