Boiled Egg Power Bowl Recipe

by

Instructions

1. Cook the Eggs Perfectly

  • Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with cold water (1 inch above eggs).

  • Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat.

  • Immediately remove from heat, cover with a lid, and let sit:

    • 9–10 mins for slightly jammy yolks

    • 11–12 mins for firm yolks (no gray ring!).

2. Cool & Peel

  • Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5–10 minutes to stop cooking.

  • Gently crack, roll, and peel under cool running water for smooth shells. Slice or halve.

3. Assemble the Bowl

  1. Base: Start with grains (quinoa/rice) or greens.

  2. Veggies: Add tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and pickled onions.

  3. Eggs: Place halved or sliced eggs on top.

  4. Finish: Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of za’atar or chili flakes for a kick.

Why This Works

  • No Overcooked Eggs: The ice bath ensures creamy yolks and easy peeling.

  • Meal-Prep Friendly: Components store well for 3–4 days (add avocado fresh).

  • Flavor Boosters: Pickled onions or olives cut through richness, while spices add depth.

Pro Tip: Swap grains for roasted sweet potatoes, or add crumbled feta for extra tang. This bowl is endlessly adaptable!

Enjoy a balanced, protein-rich meal that’s as delicious as it is nourishing. 🌟
