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
- 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 preference. For soft boiled eggs, boil them in water for about 6 to 7 minutes until the centers are soft. Alternatively, scramble or fry the eggs if you prefer. Soft boiled eggs can be made in advance and kept refrigerated.
- Sauté the mushrooms: Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the halved white button mushrooms, season with kosher salt, and cook for approximately 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the mushrooms are nicely browned on both sides.
- Cook tomatoes, spinach, and garlic: To the skillet with mushrooms, add the cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and minced garlic. Season with another pinch of kosher salt. Cook everything 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 serving bowls. Place the cooked eggs on top of each mixture. Then, spoon about 1/2 cup of hummus into each bowl. Optionally, drizzle some extra virgin olive oil on top of the hummus for added flavor and richness.
- Season and garnish: Sprinkle your preferred seasonings over each bowl, such as approximately 1 teaspoon each of Aleppo pepper and za’atar. Garnish with olives if using. Serve immediately to enjoy a savory and wholesome breakfast.
Notes
- Soft boiled eggs work best for a creamy yolk but you can use any egg style you prefer.
- You can prepare the boiled eggs in advance to save time during the morning rush.
- Feel free to customize seasonings or swap olives with other garnishes like fresh herbs or feta cheese.
- For vegan adaptation, omit eggs and serve with extra hummus or tofu scramble.
- Use fresh, high-quality extra virgin olive oil for best flavor.
