Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups roasted potatoes or cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup crumbled sirene cheese or feta
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 2 tomatoes diced
  • ¼ red onion thinly sliced
  • ½ avocado sliced
  • ¼ cup olives
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh parsley and dill
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Smoked paprika
  • Chili flakes optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and roast diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until crispy and golden.
  2. Cook the eggs your preferred way, such as fried, scrambled, poached, or soft boiled.
  3. Prepare the vegetables by dicing the cucumber and tomatoes, slicing the onion, and chopping the fresh herbs.
  4. Assemble the bowl by adding the roasted potatoes or quinoa first, followed by yogurt, vegetables, eggs, sirene cheese, avocado, and olives.
  5. Finish with olive oil, herbs, black pepper, paprika, and optional chili flakes before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the most authentic Balkan flavor.
  • Sirene cheese gives the bowl a traditional Balkan taste, but feta works well too.
  • Store ingredients separately for meal prep.
  • Add grilled chicken or chickpeas for extra protein.
