Ingredients

Egg & Veggies

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ cup brussels sprouts, halved
  • 3-4 large asparagus spears, cut into 2-inch pieces

Grain & Greens

  • ½ cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup baby arugula or other leafy green

Toppings & Dressing

  • ¼ small avocado, sliced
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • Optional: tahini dressing or golden turmeric tahini sauce
  • Optional: everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. Soft boil the egg: Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower the egg into the boiling water using a spoon. Cook for 6-7 minutes maintaining a gentle boil. Immediately transfer the egg to a bowl of ice water to cool and stop cooking.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add halved brussels sprouts and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they start to soften. Add minced garlic and asparagus pieces, continue to cook for about 5 more minutes until asparagus is bright green and tender.
  3. Prepare the grain bowl: Warm the cooked quinoa if it’s not already warm. In a bowl, combine the quinoa with baby arugula, sautéed brussels sprouts, and asparagus.
  4. Assemble the bowl: Peel the cooled egg and cut it in half. Place the egg halves on top of the vegetable and quinoa mixture. Garnish with sliced avocado and green onion. Drizzle with tahini dressing or golden turmeric tahini sauce and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Quinoa, eggs, and dressing can be prepared up to 3 days in advance to save time.
  • Feel free to substitute any grains, greens, or vegetables based on what you have available to customize your grain bowl.
  • You can switch the soft boiled egg for a fried or poached egg, or omit eggs entirely to make this a vegan bowl.
