Hey there, breakfast lovers! Let me tell you about my absolute favorite morning recipe that’ll make you forget all about those drive-thru breakfast sandwiches. Trust me, once you try this Protein-Packed Mediterranean Breakfast Bowl, you’ll never look back at those greasy fast-food options again!
Y’all, as someone who used to grab breakfast on the go (and regret it an hour later), I’ve perfected this recipe through countless Sunday morning experiments. And let me tell you, my family now begs for this dish!
What You’ll Need:
– 2 farm-fresh eggs
– 1/2 cup quinoa
– 1 handful of baby spinach
– 1/2 avocado
– Cherry tomatoes
– Crumbled feta cheese
– Extra virgin olive oil
– Everything bagel seasoning (because, duh!)
– Salt and pepper to taste
Okay, queens and kings, let’s get cooking!
First, cook your quinoa according to package instructions. Pro tip: I like to use vegetable broth instead of water for extra flavor – just a little secret I learned from my grandmother! While that’s cooking (about 15 minutes), let’s prep our other goodies.
Slice those cherry tomatoes in half, and cut your avocado into chunks. Now, here comes the fun part – poaching those eggs! I know some of you might be thinking, “Girl, poaching eggs is scary!” But trust me, you’ve got this!

To poach the eggs perfectly, bring water to a gentle simmer, add a splash of vinegar, create a little whirlpool with your spoon, and carefully drop the egg in. About 3 minutes later, you’ll have perfectly poached eggs with runny yolks that’ll make your bowl Instagram-worthy!
Now for assembly (my favorite part!): Add your warm quinoa to a bowl, top with spinach (it’ll wilt slightly from the heat – perfect!), arrange your tomatoes and avocado chunks, place those gorgeous poached eggs on top, sprinkle with feta cheese, and finish with a drizzle of olive oil and everything bagel seasoning.
When that yolk breaks and runs into the quinoa… honey, that’s what I call breakfast heaven! 🤤
This recipe is packed with protein, healthy fats, and all the nutrients you need to start your day like a boss. Plus, it takes less time than sitting in that morning drive-thru line!
