Rice with egg and avocado

This morning, I looked at the fridge and cupboards and thought at first I had no food! We had been travelling through a winter storm the day before and I had to work late at night as well, so yet another snow day with the little one was taking all my energy. Too cold for a smoothie! What was I going to do?? Then I remembered this delicious and filling breakfast made with 4 simple ingredients, that I still had at home!

Ingredients:

1 serving cooked rice

1 egg

1-2 green onions

1/4-1/2 avocado

Salt and pepper to taste (also hot sauce like Sriracha is good on this).

Directions:

Cook rice according to package directions if you don’t have leftover rice.

While rice is simmering, cook egg as you like it- I prefer soft boiled. To soft boil, cover an egg with water and put on high heat. When it starts to boil, set a timer for 6-7 minutes. After timer goes off, immediately take off of heat and run under cold water. Peel and set aside.

Slice avocado and green onions.

Scoop rice into bowl and add green onions, stir it up so they are dispersed. Top with egg and avocado, salt and pepper to taste.

There you have it! A simple yet delicious recipe for when you want a hearty breakfast to power your day!
