Ingredients

– 2 large eggs

– 1/4 cup cottage cheese

– 1 small sweet potato, diced, or half a medium sweet potato, about 3/4 cup cooked

– 1/2 small avocado, diced, or 1/4 of a medium or large avocado

– 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens

– 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil for roasting the sweet potatoes

– Squeeze of fresh lemon juice to taste for the greens

– Salsa or hot sauce optional to taste

– Everything bagel seasoning optional to taste

– Red pepper flakes optional to taste

– Kosher salt to taste

– Black pepper to taste


Instructions

1-First Step: Prep the sweet potato Start by heating your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if you want easy cleanup. Dice the sweet potato into small, even pieces so they roast at the same rate. Toss the diced sweet potato with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, a pinch of kosher salt, and black pepper, then spread it out in one layer on the pan. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through. You want the pieces tender inside and lightly crisp on the outside. If you are short on time, you can roast the sweet potato in advance and warm it up later for a faster Brekky Bowl.

2-Second Step: Prepare the greens and avocado While the sweet potato roasts, add 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens to a bowl. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the greens and toss gently with a tiny pinch of salt and pepper. This adds brightness and keeps the bowl from tasting too heavy. Dice or slice the avocado, depending on how you like the texture. I love having it in small chunks because it mixes nicely with the warm potatoes and eggs. If your avocado is very ripe, add it right before serving so it stays pretty and creamy.

3-Third Step: Cook the eggs When the sweet potato is nearly done, cook your 2 large eggs. You can scramble them in a nonstick skillet, fry them sunny-side up, or poach them if that is your favorite style. For scrambled eggs, cook over medium-low heat and stir gently until just set. For fried eggs, cook until the whites are firm and the yolks are still soft, if you like them runny. Season the eggs lightly with salt and black pepper. Since the bowl already has plenty of flavor from the sweet potato, avocado, and optional toppings, a simple seasoning is usually enough. If you want a lighter version, you can also use egg whites, but the whole eggs give the best rich flavor.

4-Fourth Step: Build the bowl Now it is time to assemble your Brekky Bowl. Add the lemony greens to the bottom of your bowl, then pile on the roasted sweet potato. Place the cooked eggs on top, followed by the diced avocado and 1/4 cup cottage cheese. This layering helps each bite taste balanced, with a little creamy, a little salty, and a little fresh. If you like a more filling breakfast, you can double the greens or add an extra egg. If you are making this for meal prep, keep the components separate until serving so the greens stay fresh and the avocado looks its best.

5-Final Step: Add toppings and serve Finish your Brekky Bowl with salsa or hot sauce if you want a little kick. Everything bagel seasoning adds a nice savory crunch, and red pepper flakes bring gentle heat. Taste the bowl and adjust the salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm right away while the sweet potato and eggs are still cozy. This is the kind of breakfast that feels special without being complicated. If you are looking for another simple savory breakfast idea, this bowl pairs nicely with a slice of cheesy quick bread when you want something extra on the side.
