Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 ripe avocado (sliced)

- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: hot sauce, salsa, or Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Divide cooked brown rice or quinoa evenly among four bowls.
- Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Crack eggs into skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook to your desired doneness (fried or scrambled).
- While eggs cook, halve cherry tomatoes, slice avocado, and prepare baby spinach, green onions, and cheddar cheese.
- Top each bowl of rice/quinoa with cooked egg, baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, cheddar cheese, and green onions.
- Sprinkle additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Add optional toppings like hot sauce, salsa, or Greek yogurt.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
For substitutions, try cauliflower rice for a low-carb version, or tofu scramble for a vegan alternative. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat gently. Prepare rice/quinoa ahead to save time. Add or swap veggies as desired. Prevent runny eggs by cooking over medium-low heat. If avocado browns, slice just before serving. Adjust toppings to taste.
