Ingredients and Substitutions
Greek Yogurt: Use your favorite plain Greek yogurt as the base for the bowls. You could swap for plain regular yogurt or even use hummus in place of the the Greek yogurt.
Garlic Clove: One garlic clove adds to the flavor of the Greek yogurt.
Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice gives these breakfast bowls a bright flavor. For best results, use fresh lemon juice. But you can use bottled lemon juice if needed.
Olive Oil: Olive oil creates a smooth and creamy Greek yogurt base. I prefer to use Extra Virgin Olive oil.
Tomatoes: Cherry, grape or heirloom tomatoes all make great choices. But you can use any type of tomato or omit if you wish.
Olives: Olives are added with the breakfast bowls for flavor. You can use your favorite type of olives or leave the olives out all together.
Dill: Dill gives these savory breakfast bowls an herby and fresh flavor. Fresh dill works the best but can swap for dried dill. If you use dried dill, reduce the amount down to about 1/2 teaspoon or to personal taste.
Eggs: You will need 2-4 eggs, depending how many eggs you wish to add to the breakfast bowls. The recipe is created using 2 eggs. If making more eggs, add on 2 tablespoons of feta per egg.
Feta: Feta cheese is cooked with the fried eggs as well as sprinkled over the bowls. You could replace with goat cheese.
Oil or butter: Oil or butter is required for the fried eggs.
Sourdough or Pita bread: Sourdough toast or pita bread to dip into the bowls is so GOOD and I highly recommend!
