Why we love it
If you are trying to eat healthy, this avocado rice with a fried egg is a delicious and satisfying meal that is sure to become a favorite.
Avocado and rice is a great way to incorporate healthy fats into your diet. The avocado has a creamy, rich taste that pairs well with a variety of flavors.
When you combine it with brown rice, the avocado adds a creamy texture and a subtle, nutty flavor. And a fried egg on top just adds that “piece de resistance“, a protein-rich ingredient that complements the avocado and rice perfectly.
It is also a dish that is relatively simple and quick to prepare. To make the dish, all you need to do is cook some rice according to the package instructions and mash up some ripe avocados.
Then, mix the cooked rice and mashed avocado together, adding in any additional seasonings or herbs as desired. Finally, fry an egg to your liking and place it on top of the avocado rice.
This dish can be made in under 30 minutes, making it a great option for a weeknight dinner or a quick lunch.
What to serve with it?
Avocado rice with fried egg is a well-rounded meal that you can serve by itself, or along with other sides.
For a starter, consider these fresh chicken spring rolls or this creamy gratin scallops. You can also serve it with a meat dish like this pork loin roast or chicken tikka.
How to store it?
This avocado rice with fried egg can easily be prepared in advance and put aside for the next day. Place it in an airtight container and put in the fridge, and it should last at least a day or so.
But don’t leave it for more than a few hours however, as the avocado may start to turn.
