Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
2 large eggs
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/2 cup baby spinach
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Base:
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (optional)
1 slice whole grain toast (optional)
Seasoning:
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or dill)
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Lemon wedge for serving
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: Wash and dry the spinach. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red onion, and slice the avocado. Set aside.
Cook the eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook to your preference (fried, scrambled, or poached). Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Warm the base (optional): If using quinoa, warm it in the microwave for 30 seconds. If using toast, toast the bread until golden brown.
Sauté the spinach: In the same pan used for eggs, quickly sauté the spinach for 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Assemble the bowl: Place the quinoa or toast (if using) in a bowl as the base. Add the sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
Add the proteins and fats: Top with the cooked eggs and avocado slices. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and pumpkin seeds.
Finish and serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Serve with a lemon wedge for extra freshness.

Chef's Tips
Perfect Eggs: For runny yolks, cook eggs sunny-side up for 2-3 minutes. For firmer yolks, cook for 4-5 minutes.
Time Saver: Prep vegetables the night before and store in the refrigerator for a quick morning assembly.
Variations: Add roasted sweet potato, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra nutrients and flavor.
