½ cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (optional but recommended)
1 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt & black pepper, to taste

Instructions
Cook the Eggs
Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry, scramble, or poach the eggs according to your preference. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Prepare the Base
If using quinoa or brown rice, warm it slightly. Place it in the bottom of your bowl.
Add Fresh Veggies
Add spinach or mixed greens on one side of the bowl. The warmth from the grains will slightly wilt the greens.
Add Avocado
Slice or mash the avocado, sprinkle with a little salt and lemon juice to prevent browning.
Assemble the Bowl
Place the eggs on top, add cherry tomatoes, and finish with chili flakes or paprika.
