Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe avocado, halved and pitted
- 3 oz (85g) smoked salmon, thinly sliced
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter or ghee for cooking
- 1/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (optional)
- 1/4 cup mixed salad greens
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained (optional)
- 1 tablespoon red onion, finely diced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the base:
- Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl, leaving a small rim if you want to use the skin as a serving bowl.
- Mash half of the avocado with a fork and dice the remaining half into chunks.
- Drizzle with half of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the eggs:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or ghee.
- Crack the eggs into the pan and cook to your preference (sunny-side up, over-easy, or poached work best for this breakfast bowl).
- Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Assemble the bowl:
- Place the mashed and diced avocado in the bottom of your serving bowl.
- Arrange the mixed greens on one side of the bowl.
- Add the cooked eggs next to the greens.
- Artfully arrange the smoked salmon slices on the other side of the bowl.
- If using, add a dollop of Greek yogurt in the center.
- Add finishing touches:
- Sprinkle your choice of toppings – capers, red onion, dill, or everything bagel seasoning.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil and lemon juice over the entire bowl.
- Add an extra crack of black pepper for a flavor boost.
- Serve immediately while the eggs are still warm.
Notes
Pro Tips:
- Use ripe but firm avocados for the perfect texture.
- Opt for wild-caught smoked salmon for the highest nutritional content and best flavor.
- Cook eggs to a medium-soft yolk so they create a natural “sauce” when broken into the bowl.
- Warm the smoked salmon slightly by placing it near (not on) the hot pan while cooking your eggs.
- For meal prep: Keep all components separate and assemble just before eating.
Storage:
This keto breakfast bowl is best enjoyed fresh. If needed, store components separately: cooked eggs refrigerated for up to 2 days, smoked salmon in original packaging for up to 5 days. Avocado doesn’t store well but can be refrigerated with extra lemon juice for up to 24 hours.
