Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 large eggs, 4 slices of bacon, 1 cup of cooked rice or quinoa, 1 avocado, sliced, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the 4 slices of bacon to the skillet. Cook the bacon for about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until it is crispy and golden brown.
- While the bacon is cooking, prepare the rice or quinoa if it is not already cooked. You can use leftover rice or quinoa to save time.
- Once the bacon is done, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet for cooking the eggs.
- In the same skillet with the bacon grease, crack 4 large eggs directly into the pan. Cook the eggs to your desired doneness, whether you prefer them sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the eggs are cooking, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado into slices or cubes as per your preference.
- To assemble the breakfast bowls, divide the cooked rice or quinoa evenly between two bowls as the base.
- Top each bowl with two slices of crispy bacon, followed by two cooked eggs from the skillet.
- Add the sliced avocado on top of each bowl, arranging it nicely for presentation.
- Finish with an extra sprinkle of salt and pepper, if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Bacon Perfection: For extra crispy bacon, start with a cold skillet and cook slowly. This helps render the fat evenly and creates a perfect crunch.
- Egg Mastery: Use fresh eggs at room temperature for more even cooking. If you prefer softer yolks, lower the heat and cook more gently.
- Meal Prep Hack: Cook extra rice or quinoa and bacon in advance to make these breakfast bowls even faster on busy mornings.
- Avocado Tip: Choose a ripe avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure. For perfect slices, use a sharp knife and scoop out with a spoon.
- Customize Your Bowl: Feel free to add extra toppings like hot sauce, chopped herbs, or a sprinkle of cheese to make the recipe your own.
