To make this stunning breakfast bowl an any-morning reality, we cook our whole grains in advance and store them in individual portions in our fridge or freezer. Defrost what you need and the rest of this meal comes together quickly. The crispy garlic adds texture and so much flavor, while the leftover garlic oil is used to cook the eggs. To cut down on oil (and calories), cook the eggs using a combo fry-baste method which uses only 1 tablespoon of oil and hot water (hot water is essential to avoid splatter) to gently cook the eggs until the whites are just set and the yolks are still runny.
Adding Greek yogurt on the side bumps the protein content up to more than 20g, making this a satisfying, balanced breakfast that keeps you full for hours.

Fried Egg and Avocado Breakfast Bowls Ingredients Optional Garnishes Directions In a cold, medium-sized skillet, add the garlic and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Cook over moderate heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until the garlic begins to brown, 3–5 minutes. Using a fork, transfer the garlic chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt. Pour out all but 1 tablespoon of the garlic oil from the skillet. Divide the grains between two shallow bowls. Top each bowl with 1/2 sliced avocado. In the skillet, heat the reserved garlic oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet, spacing at least 1 inch (2.54cm) apart, and cook over moderate heat until the whites begin to set. Add 1/3 cup of hot water to the skillet. Cook, basting the eggs with water, until the whites are just set and the yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes. Transfer one egg to each bowl. Season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, toss the herbs with the lemon juice and the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the herb salad between the grain bowls. Finish each bowl with a dollop of the Greek yogurt, if using, and sprinkle the garlic chips over the top. Drizzle with more olive oil and garnish with crushed red pepper and flaky sea salt, if desired. Serve immediately, passing lemon wedges at the table.
