Baked Eggs in Avocado
Two halves, two eggs, twenty minutes. Scooping out a little extra flesh first is what stops the egg running everywhere.

Avocado Breakfast Bowl
Cook the quinoa and boil the eggs once, and this becomes a four-minute assembly for the next three mornings.
The dressing matters more than it looks — grain bowls without acid taste like ingredients sitting next to each other.

Instructions
- 1
Simmer the quinoa in the water, covered, for 14 to 15 minutes until the grains uncoil, then rest off the heat for 5 minutes and fluff with a fork.
- 2
Meanwhile boil the eggs for 7 minutes for a jammy yolk or 9 for firm, then cool in cold water and peel.
- 3
Whisk the dressing ingredients together.
- 4
Toss the warm quinoa with half the dressing and the spinach — the residual heat wilts the leaves just enough.
- 5
Divide between two bowls, add the halved eggs, avocado slices and tomatoes, spoon over the rest of the dressing and scatter the seeds.
Recipe tips
- Rinse quinoa before cooking. The saponin coating on unrinsed grain tastes soapy.
- Dress the grain while it is warm — it absorbs the dressing instead of letting it pool at the bottom.
- Cook a triple batch of quinoa and boil six eggs on a Sunday and the weekday version takes four minutes.
- Any cooked grain works: rice, millet, bulgur, or leftover dalia.

Frequently asked questions
Can I meal-prep the whole bowl?
Everything except the avocado, yes. Assemble the rest in containers and add fresh avocado in the morning.
What can I use instead of quinoa?
Any cooked grain — brown rice, millet, bulgur or dalia. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
Is this enough for lunch too?
Yes. At around 610 kcal and 26 g protein per bowl it works as either meal. Those are estimates from the ingredient quantities.
