📜 Ingredients
1 large egg
1 ripe avocado
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 ripe banana, firm but yellow (for caramelizing)
1 ripe banana, for fresh slices
1/2 cup mixed fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, sliced strawberries)
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon maple syrup, for caramelizing bananas
1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
A few fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon balsamic glaze for drizzling
📝 Instructions
- Slice the avocado and set aside. Wash and drain the fresh berries. Slice one banana for fresh consumption and the other banana for caramelizing.
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the fresh baby spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Season with a tiny pinch of salt and pepper, then transfer to your serving bowl.
- In the same pan, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Arrange the banana slices for caramelizing in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and cook for another minute, allowing the syrup to lightly caramelize. Remove from heat.
- Wipe the pan clean if needed, or use another small non-stick pan. Fry your egg sunny-side up to your preferred doneness. A runny yolk is perfect for this bowl! Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Carefully arrange all your prepared ingredients in your serving bowl: the wilted spinach, sliced avocado, caramelized banana slices, fresh banana slices, mixed berries, and the fried egg.
- Sprinkle black and white sesame seeds generously over the entire bowl. If using, drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the avocado and spinach. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
💡 Chef's Tips
- For Extra Flavor: A light drizzle of a homemade dressing made from 1 teaspoon halal-certified soy sauce, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon lime juice can add a wonderful savory-sweet kick to the entire bowl, especially over the avocado and egg.
- Protein Boost: Feel free to add a spoonful of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt (halal-certified) alongside the egg for an extra protein punch and creamy texture.
