Ingredients
2
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, etc.)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
1
Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer.
2
Crack the eggs into small bowls, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
3
While the eggs are poaching, prepare the bowl: in a mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and diced avocado.
4
Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
5
Once the eggs are poached, carefully remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
6
Divide the greens mixture into bowls, top with a poached egg, and sprinkle with feta cheese and optional red pepper flakes.

Pro Tips
Use fresh eggs for the best poaching results.
To make poaching easier, add a splash of vinegar to the water.
Troubleshooting
If the eggs break while poaching, try lowering the temperature of the water.
Ensure the water is only simmering gently to avoid turbulent water that can break the eggs.
Recipe Variations
Add smoked salmon for a delicious twist.
Incorporate sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers for extra flavor.
Healthy Alternatives
Substitute feta with a dairy-free cheese for vegan diets.
Use whole grain toast instead of greens for a different base.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with whole grain toast or a side of fruit to complement the bowl.
