With everything bagel croutons, hard-boiled eggs and diced avocado, this brussels sprout breakfast salad ticks all the boxes for breakfast, brunch and brinner.
My food cravings are rather unpredictable.
One moment I want salted chocolate chunk cookies, and the next I am in serious need of a full rainbow of veggies.
It’s a good thing that I tend to go for fruits and vegetables instead of dessert most of the time.
I am a huge fan of salads, which is probably pretty obvious if you take a look at my Instagram feed.
Every day at least one of my meals involves lots of leafy greens.
Usually it’s lunch or dinner, but recently I’ve been experimenting with ditching my usual blueberry spinach breakfast smoothie in favor of a salad.
Instead of breakfast for dinner, a.k.a. brinnner, why not dinner (or lunch) for breakfast?
We should all be eating more lettuce, right?
Even though I don’t feel pigeonholed into what’s typically thought of as breakfast food since the time of day doesn’t matter to me, I’ve been thinking about what makes a meal more breakfasty or brunchy.
The most obvious addition is an egg.
After that, bagels come to mind, specifically everything bagels. I love how everything seasoning has become so popular, with bagel or without.
And the trendiest of all brunch ingredients is the avocado thanks to avocado toast.
My shredded brussels sprout breakfast salad ticks all those boxes.
The first step is to toast two everything bagels, torn into pieces and tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper, until they are crisp and golden brown.
While the bagel croutons are baking, I make hard-boiled eggs.
I know poached eggs are often what you think of when you “put an egg on it,” but I find hard-boiling eggs is more reliable than poaching.
To shred brussels sprouts, I like using the grating disc on my food processor. You can try a mandolin or thinly slice the sprouts with a knife.
I toss the sprouts and everything bagel croutons with sliced radishes and diced avocadoes. For dressing, I drizzle on lemon vinaigrette.
To finish the brussels sprout breakfast salad, I sprinkle on everything bagel seasoning and minced chives.
Each salad is served with a halved hard-boiled egg.
