Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs (preferably organic or free-range)
  • 1/2 cup dry quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen and thawed)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Toasted pumpkin seeds
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1/2 cup dry quinoa or brown rice under cold water. Add to a medium saucepan with 1 cup water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes (quinoa) or 40 minutes (brown rice) until tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Bring a separate pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower large eggs into the water using a slotted spoon. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for runny yolks with just-set whites. Remove eggs and immediately transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes. Gently peel and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, mix 1 cup plain Greek yogurt with finely chopped chipotle pepper, lime juice and zest, honey (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir well until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning or heat level as desired.
  4. While the grains cook, halve cherry tomatoes, dice cucumber, slice avocado, and prepare corn kernels if frozen. Chop fresh cilantro for garnish.
  5. In a serving bowl, layer the cooked grains as the base. Arrange avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and corn on top. Carefully halve the soft-boiled eggs and nestle them in.
  6. Spoon the chipotle-lime yogurt sauce generously over the bowl. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and toasted pumpkin seeds.
  7. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use coconut yogurt to make the chipotle-lime sauce dairy-free. Adjust chipotle pepper quantity to control spice level. Older eggs peel easier. The chipotle-lime yogurt can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge to deepen flavors. For perfect soft-boiled eggs, use a timer and an ice bath immediately after boiling.
