Key items needed to make this easy rice and egg breakfast bowl

Instant rice packets. I am grateful I live in a time where microwave instant rice exists. ESPECIALLY brown rice. I usually cook rice or quinoa in the Instant Pot, however you can opt for perfectly flavored brown rice and quinoa ready in 90 seconds. This is good for when you're in a time crunch and don't have any meal prepped rice on hand. I recommend this brand.
Avocado oil or spray. I find this to be the best healthy way to make eggs, so they don't stick to your pan. Avocado oil has a high smoke point, and a wonderful light flavor, making it a versatile cooking oil.

How to make fluffy scrambled eggs

You must mix them together in a bowl until they are pale yellow BEFORE you pour them into the frying pan. Don't mix them directly in the frying pan.
Then you need to always cook on medium low heat and let them fully cook on one side before scrambling them. This ensures that they are in big, fluffy chunks, as opposed to sad, crumbly bits.

Years ago I was the world champion of tiny scrambled egg crumbles that were hardly edible. And now I have a food blog. Living proof (not the hair care brand) that you can be anything you set your mind to!

Step-by-step instructions to make this breakfast

You will find the full ingredients and instructions list in the recipe card at the bottom of this post, but here are the steps laid out, so you can see how easy it is to make this brown rice and egg breakfast bowl!

Step 1

Microwave rice packet per instructions on bag, which is generally 90 seconds on high heat.

Step 2

Pour avocado oil in frying pan and warm pan on medium-low heat.

Step 3

While rice is cooking and pan is warming, whisk together eggs in a mixing bowl until fluffy and pale yellow. Next, pour eggs into the frying pan and cook on medium-low heat until bottom side cooks through. Use a spatula to flip to the other side, gently scrambling together to make big chunks.

Step 4

Fold in spinach and cook about another 2 minutes until wilted and bright green. Add salt and pepper to taste. Assemble rice bowl by pouring rice, eggs, and spinach together. Add any additional spices as wanted.

Helpful tips for bringing it all together

While my rice is cooking in the microwave, I start the scrambled eggs and spinach to make the most efficient use of my time.
Your spinach is done cooking when it completely wilts and turns bright green. It takes about 2-3 minutes for this process, so add it when eggs are halfway done cooking.
Make this brown rice and egg breakfast bowl in a large batch so you can meal prep for the week. Simply store in an air-tight glass container for up to 3 days.
