Recipe: Avocado & Cherry Tomato Egg White Bowl
This recipe is all about fresh ingredients and simple steps. We’re using egg whites to keep it light, creamy avocado for healthy fats, and juicy cherry tomatoes for a burst of flavour. Let’s get cooking!
What you’ll need (for one serving):
| Ingredients | Amount |
|---|---|
| Egg Whites | 3 |
| Cherry Tomatoes | 1 cup, halved |
| Avocado | 1/2 medium |
| Red Onion | 1/4 small, finely chopped (optional) |
| Fresh Cilantro or Parsley | 1 tablespoon, chopped |
| Lime or Lemon Juice | 1 teaspoon |
| Red Pepper Flakes | Pinch (optional) |
| Salt | To taste |
| Black Pepper | To taste |
| Garlic Powder | Pinch (optional) |
| Water or Milk (skim) | 1 tablespoon |
Equipment:
- Small bowl
- Frying pan or skillet
- Spatula
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Knife
- Chopping board
Instructions: Let’s Make It!
- Prep the tomatoes: Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.
- Dice the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice one half. Keep the other half for later or another meal.
- Chop the red onion (if using): Peel and finely chop a small piece of red onion.
- Whisk the egg whites: In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites with a tablespoon of water or milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). This will make them fluffy!
- Cook the egg whites: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the whisked egg whites. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, gently scrambling them with a spatula until they are cooked through but still soft. Don’t overcook them, or they will become dry.
- Assemble your bowl: Put the scrambled egg whites in a bowl. Top with halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, chopped red onion (if using), and fresh cilantro or parsley.
- Season and serve: Squeeze lime or lemon juice over the bowl. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if you like a little heat. Add extra salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy your colourful and healthy Avocado & Cherry Tomato Egg White Bowl right away!

Cooking Tips for Egg-cellent Results
- Don’t overcook the eggs: Egg whites cook quickly! Keep the heat medium and stir gently to avoid dry, rubbery eggs. You want them soft and fluffy.
- Fresh is best: Use ripe but firm avocado and juicy cherry tomatoes for the best flavour and texture.
- Spice it up: If you like a bit of a kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favourite hot sauce.
- Get creative with herbs: Try different fresh herbs like dill, chives, or basil instead of cilantro or parsley.
