Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup microgreens
- 2 tbsp, crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1 slice whole-grain bread
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Carefully crack 2 large eggs into the skillet, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
- Step 2: Place 1 slice whole-grain bread in a toaster and toast until golden brown. Using a knife, spread 1/2 tablespoon olive oil on the toast, then top with 1/4 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup microgreens, and 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese.
- Step 3: Cut 1 ripe avocado (halved and pitted) into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place 1 slice of avocado on top of the toast, arrange the poached eggs on top of the avocado, and sprinkle with an additional 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Sydney Sunrise Brunch Bowl take to make?
Total time is about 25 minutes (15 min prep + 10 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a busy morning; prep components the night before to save active time.
How do I store leftover Sydney Sunrise Brunch Bowl?
Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven; egg- or grain-based items may need a splash of milk or water to refresh texture. Cold-served items (overnight oats, smoothies) keep 2–3 days in the fridge.
Can I substitute ingredients in Sydney Sunrise Brunch Bowl?
Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.
How do I scale Sydney Sunrise Brunch Bowl for a different number of people?
The recipe is written for 1 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 1). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
