  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Eggs

  • 4 eggs, cooked to your liking (soft boiled recommended)

Vegetables

  • 8 ounces white button mushrooms, halved
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cups baby spinach, packed
  • 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced

Other Ingredients

  • Extra virgin olive oil (about 2 tablespoons plus more for drizzling)
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups hummus (homemade or store-bought)
  • Seasonings of your choice (Aleppo pepper and za’atar recommended, about 1 teaspoon each)
  • Olives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the eggs: Prepare the eggs to your preferred method such as soft boiling, scrambling, or sunny-side up. Soft boiled eggs require about 6-7 minutes boiling. Eggs can be cooked in advance and refrigerated for later use.
  2. Sauté the mushrooms: Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the halved mushrooms, sprinkle with kosher salt, and cook for about 7 minutes, turning occasionally until both sides are browned and mushrooms are tender.
  3. Add tomatoes, spinach, and garlic: Add the cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and minced garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms. Season with another pinch of kosher salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the tomatoes are warmed through and the spinach is wilted.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide the mushroom, spinach, and tomato mixture evenly among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with an egg prepared as desired and add about 3/8 cup of hummus. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the hummus if you like for extra richness.
  5. Season and garnish: Sprinkle with your chosen seasonings such as Aleppo pepper and za’atar, roughly 1 teaspoon of each per bowl. Add olives if using for extra Mediterranean flair. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Eggs can be cooked in advance, peeled, and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to save time in the morning.
  • You can customize the seasoning to your preference—smoked paprika or cumin are great alternatives.
  • Use homemade hummus for a fresh flavor or store-bought for convenience.
  • This recipe works well for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.
  • Optionally add toasted pita or crusty bread on the side for a more filling meal.
