A delicious and nutritious Lentil Breakfast Bowl that combines protein-rich lentils with a variety of nourishing toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup brown or green lentils, rinsed
  • 4 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1–2 large eggs
  • 2 cup fresh spinach
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced or mashed
  • 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.

3. Add the rinsed lentils, vegetable broth, dried thyme, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

4. While the lentils are simmering, prepare your toppings. Cook the eggs as desired (poached, fried, or soft-boiled) and sauté or wilt the fresh spinach.

5. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked lentil base evenly among serving bowls. Top each bowl with the sautéed spinach, cooked eggs, sliced or mashed avocado, crumbled feta cheese (if using), chopped herbs, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if desired).

6. Serve the Lentil Breakfast Bowls warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!

Notes

The lentil base can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When ready to serve, simply reheat the lentils, prepare the toppings, and assemble the bowls.
