Ingredient Notes

  • Eggs
    The star of the bowl. Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture. Soft-cooked eggs give a creamy yolk, but any style works.

  • Cherry Tomatoes
    They add sweetness and freshness. Grape tomatoes or chopped regular tomatoes also work.

  • Cucumber
    Adds crunch and balance. English cucumbers are great because they have fewer seeds.

  • Kalamata Olives
    Bring a salty, rich bite. Black olives can be used if needed.

  • Feta Cheese
    Adds creaminess and tang. Goat cheese is a good substitute.

  • Olive Oil
    Use good quality olive oil for the best flavor.

  • Garlic
    A small amount adds warmth without overpowering the bowl.

  • Fresh Herbs
    Parsley, dill, or mint brighten everything up. Dried herbs work in a pinch.

  • Salt and Black Pepper
    Season lightly and adjust at the end.

Special equipment needed: non-stick skillet, mixing bowl


How To Make Mediterranean Eggs Breakfast Bowl Recipe

1. Prepare the Vegetables

Chop tomatoes, cucumber, and olives. Place them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss gently and set aside.

2. Heat the Pan

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and let it warm for about 30 seconds.

3. Cook the Eggs

Crack eggs into the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes for soft whites, or longer if you prefer firmer eggs. Cover the pan for even cooking.

4. Season the Eggs

Sprinkle eggs lightly with salt and black pepper while cooking. The whites should be set, and yolks slightly runny if desired.

5. Assemble the Bowl

Divide the vegetable mixture between bowls. Place eggs on top.

6. Add Toppings

Finish with crumbled feta, fresh herbs, and an extra drizzle of olive oil.

7. Serve Immediately

Serve warm with pita, toast, or roasted potatoes if desired.


Storage Options

Room Temperature
Best eaten fresh. Do not leave out longer than 1 hour.

Refrigeration
Store vegetables separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Eggs are best cooked fresh.

Freezing
Not recommended, as eggs and fresh vegetables lose texture.

Reheating Tips
Reheat eggs gently in a skillet over low heat. Avoid microwaving too long.


Variations and Substitutions

  • Add roasted sweet potatoes for a heartier bowl.

  • Use hummus as a base for extra creaminess.

  • Swap feta for dairy-free cheese for a vegan-friendly bowl (with plant-based eggs).

  • Add spinach or arugula for more greens.

  • Sprinkle with za’atar or paprika for extra flavor.
