Today's breakfast bowl is simple: a vegetarian-inspired dish with sautéed mushrooms, veggies, Fresno cheese, and a poached egg.
It's the Meatless Monday breakfast bowl on my list of weekday breakfasts, and it's super yummy!
MEATLESS MONDAY BREAKFAST BOWL
INGREDIENTS
- Butter or oil
- 1 egg
- Handful of mushrooms, quartered
- 1/2 jalapeno, sliced
- 1/4 Anaheim pepper, sliced
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- Handful of cherry tomatoes, sliced
- Fresno cheese, crumbled
- Cilantro (optional...I get it)
- 1/2 lime
- Spices (paprika; salt)
INSTRUCTIONS
For the bowl:
- Heat butter or oil in nonstick pan (I use Epicurious)
- Sauté mushrooms & peppers in hot pan; add paprika & salt to taste
- When done, remove from heat and place in serving bowl
- Add avocado and tomato to serving bowl
Simultaneously, for the poached egg:
- Add water and a splash of vinegar to pot (I use All-Clad)
- Bring water to a boil, then reduce to simmer
- Break egg into a small bowl on the side (I use these)
- Swirl water in the simmering pot using a spoon so that it forms a "cyclone"; pour the egg from the small bowl into the center of the "cyclone"
- Simmer egg for ~4 mins; remove with slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to remove excess water
Combine:
- Add poached egg to the bowl of veggies (I use Lenox)
- Top with Fresno cheese, cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and additional spices to taste
- Enjoy!
