Prep time 15 minutes.
INGREDIENTS
1½ cups leftover cooked brown rice
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons canola oil or butter
1 large avocado
PREPARATION
- Reheat rice gently in a small pan with a few drops of water, or in the microwave. Divide the heated rice between two wide bowls.
- Heat a cast iron or non-stick sauté pan over medium heat for a minute, then add the oil or butter to the hot pan.
- Crack each egg, place in the pan, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pan and let cook for about 2 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolk is jiggly when you shake the pan gently.
- While the eggs cook, cut the avocado in half lengthwise, and remove the pit. Use a paring knife to slice each avocado half in the shell, then scoop the slices out with a spoon. Fan half of the avocado slices over each bowl of rice.
- Place a cooked egg on each bowl.
- Serve with optional garnishes for a hearty breakfast or lunch.
