A comforting and easy dinner bowl featuring perfectly soft-boiled eggs and crispy roasted broccoli, served over your choice of grains for a wholesome, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked grains (quinoa, brown rice, or farro)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • A handful of chopped fresh parsley or chives
  • Optional toppings: toasted sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of tahini

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread broccoli in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender with crispy edges.
  4. While broccoli roasts, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil.
  5. Gently lower eggs into boiling water using a slotted spoon and boil for exactly 6 minutes.
  6. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and chill for at least 5 minutes.
  7. Divide cooked grains between serving bowls.
  8. Peel the eggs carefully and slice each in half or quarters.
  9. Top grains with roasted broccoli and nestle soft-boiled eggs on top.
  10. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives.
  11. Add optional toppings like toasted sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, or tahini if desired.
  12. Serve immediately.

Notes

If broccoli browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil. Cracking eggs all over before peeling helps remove shells easily. Start boiling eggs while preheating oven to save time. For variations, swap grains for cauliflower rice or spiralized zucchini for grain-free, or replace eggs with tofu for vegan option.
