Savory Breakfast Bowl (Print version)

A filling blend of roasted potatoes, sautéed veggies, eggs, creamy avocado, and feta for a wholesome start.

# Ingredient List:

→ Base

01 - 2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Vegetables

06 - 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
07 - 1/2 zucchini, diced
08 - 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
09 - 1 cup baby spinach

→ Eggs

10 - 2 large eggs

→ Toppings

11 - 1 ripe avocado, sliced
12 - 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
13 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
14 - Hot sauce, to taste (optional)

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F.
02 - Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
03 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion, and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until softened. Add baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
04 - In the same skillet, cook the eggs to desired doneness, preferably fried or poached.
05 - Divide the roasted potatoes and sautéed vegetables between two bowls. Top each with a cooked egg, sliced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped chives. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired.
06 - Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in less than 45 minutes but tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did.
  • You can prep components the night before and just assemble in the morning when you're barely awake.
  • Every bite has texture and flavor contrast, so you're never bored halfway through.
02 -
  • Flip those potatoes halfway through roasting or the bottom side gets too dark while the top stays pale; learned this the hard way the first time.
  • Don't add the spinach to the pan too early or it becomes a watery mess instead of a tender green addition to your bowl.
  • A truly ripe avocado is non-negotiable here because underripe avocado tastes like sadness, and that's not what breakfast should feel like.
03 -
  • Don't crowd the baking sheet with potatoes or they'll steam instead of crisp; give them space to caramelize.
  • The order of assembly matters less than making sure that runny egg yolk stays on top so it can coat everything as you eat.
