This hearty vegetarian breakfast bowl is loaded with broccoli, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, and creamy white beans. Topped with a soft-boiled egg, it's best served with a buttery slice of crusty sourdough toast. Ready in just 25 minutes and excellent for meal prep, too!
Soft-Boiled Eggs: Heat a large saucepan with water (enough to cover the eggs once they’re added) and bring to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon and boil for 6 1/2 minutes. While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and topping it off with water. Remove the eggs and place them directly in the ice bath for at least 2-3 minutes.
4 eggs
Meanwhile, In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and whole tomatoes. As the tomatoes begin to blister, gently smash them with the back of a spoon to burst. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, adding a pinch of salt.
3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, 2 cups broccoli florets
Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in shallot and garlic, sauteeing for 2 minutes.
2 Tablespoons shallot, 1-2 garlic cloves
Add shredded Brussels sprouts with another pinch of salt, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Spread the Brussels in an even layer, letting them crisp up for about 3 minutes. Stir in the kale, parsley, and beans; cook for 3 minutes until the kale is wilted. Taste test and add another pinch of salt, as needed.
2 cups shredded Brussels sprouts, Pinch red pepper flakes, 3 cups green kale, 15 ounce can cannellini beans, 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley
Remove from heat. Peel the soft-boiled eggs (or prepare eggs as desired) and slice in half. Serve the vegetables and beans in a bowl, topped with egg, and chives or green onion. I recommend a hearty slice of sourdough toast, too!
Notes
To enjoy the vegetable bowl throughout the week, either leave the soft-boiled eggs unpeeled until ready to use or prepare your egg as desired each morning.
