Fried Egg, Avocado, Corn & Tomato Grain Bowl
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg, cover, and cook sunny-side up until the white is set and the yolk is still slightly runny, 2–3 minutes.
- Warm the cooked whole grains in a microwave-safe serving bowl until just barely warm.
- Stir the corn, avocado, and tomatoes into the grains. Top with the fried egg and any oil left in the pan. Season with flaky sea salt and black pepper.
Tips for the Best FACT Bowl
- Start with room-temperature cooked grains so they warm evenly without drying out.
- Covering the skillet helps set the egg white while keeping the yolk soft.
- Add avocado after warming the grains so it stays creamy and fresh.
- Use peak-season corn and tomatoes for the sweetest flavor.
Substitutions and Variations
Use brown rice, quinoa, barley, or wheat berries instead of farro. Frozen corn works well when thawed and drained. Add black beans, crumbled feta, cilantro, or a squeeze of lime for a different spin.
Serving Ideas
Serve the bowl with hot sauce, salsa verde, or toasted whole-grain bread. It also makes a quick lunch when topped with leftover roasted vegetables.
Storage Notes
Store cooked grains separately in the refrigerator for up to four days. Assemble the bowl just before serving so the avocado and fried egg stay fresh.
Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cook the egg another way?
Absolutely. A poached, soft-boiled, or scrambled egg all work well.
Is farro gluten-free?
No. For a gluten-free bowl, use brown rice, quinoa, or another certified gluten-free grain.
