Servings and Timing

I get about 2 servings from this recipe.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes

Variations

I sometimes add sautéed spinach or roasted sweet potatoes for extra vegetables. If I want more protein, I include black beans or grilled chicken.

For a lighter version, I skip the grains and serve everything over mixed greens. I also enjoy topping the bowl with a spoonful of salsa or hot sauce for extra flavor.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover grains and toppings separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

When reheating, I warm the grains first and then add fresh avocado and a freshly cooked egg for best texture and flavor.

FAQs

Yes, I replace the egg with roasted chickpeas or tofu and skip the feta cheese.

I like quinoa or brown rice, but farro or even cauliflower rice also work well.

How do I keep the avocado from browning?

I squeeze lemon or lime juice over the slices and add them just before serving.

Yes, I prepare the grains and chop the vegetables ahead of time, then assemble fresh in the morning.

What other toppings can I add?

I enjoy adding sliced radishes, microgreens, avocado oil drizzle, or a spoonful of Greek yogurt.

Conclusion
