Key Ingredients

Boiled Eggs– Boiled eggs are a fantastic source of protein and essential nutrients, providing a creamy texture and richness that enhances the overall flavor of the bowl.

Bacon– Crispy bacon adds a savory, smoky element that perfectly balances the dish’s creaminess. Its satisfying crunch contributes to the textural variety of the breakfast bowl.

Avocado– Avocado brings a smooth, buttery flavor and is loaded with healthy fats, making it a nutritious addition that also enhances the dish’s creaminess.

Feta Cheese– Feta cheese offers a tangy, salty bite that brightens the bowl and complements the other ingredients beautifully, adding a delightful creaminess.

Pumpkin– Roasted pumpkin adds a natural sweetness and earthy flavor, while its vibrant color enhances the dish’s visual appeal. It’s also packed with vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice.

Red Onion– Red onion adds a mild, sharp flavor that complements the richness of the avocado and the sweetness of the roasted pumpkin. Its crunchy texture and vibrant color also enhance the visual appeal of the bowl. For a lesser sharp flavor use pickled onions.

Olive Oil– Olive oil adds a rich, smooth flavor and helps roast the pumpkin to golden perfection.

Salt and Pepper– Salt and pepper are essential seasonings that elevate the natural flavors of each ingredient.

How to make this breakfast bowl with roasted pumpkin

Air-Fry the Pumpkin: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Toss the pumpkin slices with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Place the pumpkin in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for about 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the pumpkin is tender and slightly crispy.

Boil the Eggs: While the pumpkin is cooking, fill a small pot with water and bring it to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and boil for about 6-8 minutes for soft-boiled or 9-12 minutes for hard-boiled, depending on your preference. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool, then peel and set aside.

Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Cut the Avocado: Carefully slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Slice the avocado into thin pieces or cubes, depending on how you like it.

Assemble the Bowl: In a bowl, start with a base of air-fried pumpkin slices. Add the sliced avocado and chopped bacon. Cut the boiled eggs in half and place them on top. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the bowl. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Garnish and Serve: Garnish with some dried chilies and mixed seeds for a pop of color and extra flavor. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious breakfast bowl

Tips for the best breakfast bowl

Fresh Ingredients– Use fresh, ripe ingredients whenever possible. A perfectly ripe avocado adds creaminess.

Customize for Your Preferences– Feel free to swap ingredients based on your tastes or dietary needs. Add your favorite vegetables, grains (like quinoa or brown rice), or proteins (like chicken or tofu) to make it your own.

Serve Warm: For the best experience, serve your breakfast bowl warm. The warmth of the pumpkin and bacon, combined with the creamy avocado, creates a comforting dish.

How to Store Your Breakfast Bowl

Assembled Bowl– If you plan to eat the bowl within a day, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, it’s best to keep certain ingredients separate to maintain texture and freshness. Aim to eat the assembled bowl within 1-2 days for the best quality.

Separate Ingredients– Store the roasted pumpkin, bacon, and boiled eggs in one airtight container, and the avocado, and feta, in a separate airtight container to maintain freshness. Keep both containers in the refrigerator and heat and assemble the bowl just before serving.
