| Dried Oregano | Pinch | A little Italian herb magic! |

| Cooking Spray or ½ teaspoon Olive Oil (optional) | Just a tiny bit for cooking the tomatoes (if roasting) |
Let’s Get Cooking! (Instructions):
- Tomato Time: First, let’s get those cherry tomatoes ready! You have two choices:
- Roasting (More Flavor): Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and put them on a baking sheet. You can spray them with a little cooking spray or drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil if you want. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly wrinkly.
- Quick Sauté (Faster): Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Heat a small pan over medium heat. If you want, you can spray the pan with cooking spray or add a tiny bit of olive oil. Add the tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they are a little soft.
- Onion Power: While the tomatoes are cooking (or if you’re not cooking them), finely chop your red onion.
- Egg White Scramble Magic: In a clean pan, spray with cooking spray or use a tiny bit of olive oil. Heat over medium-low heat. Pour in your egg whites. Cook gently, stirring with a spatula, until they are set but still soft and fluffy. Don’t overcook them or they will get dry!
- Spice it Up! As the egg whites are almost done, sprinkle in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir it all together.
- Bowl Assembly Fun! Now for the best part – building your bowl!
- Put the scrambled egg whites in the bottom of your bowl.
- Top with the cooked cherry tomatoes (roasted or sautéed).
- Add the chopped red onion on top.
- Slice or dice your avocado and place it on top of everything else.
- Sunshine Serve! Your Sunshine Scramble Breakfast Bowl is ready to enjoy! Eat it right away while it’s warm and delicious.

Cooking Tips for Super Bowls:
- Don’t Overcook the Eggs: Egg whites cook fast! Keep the heat low to medium-low and stir them gently to keep them soft and yummy.
- Taste and Adjust: Everyone likes different flavors! Taste your scrambled eggs and tomatoes. Need more salt? A little more paprika? Go for it! Make it taste perfect for YOU.
- Fresh is Best: Using fresh, ripe avocado and cherry tomatoes will make this bowl taste even better.
- Make it Ahead (Sort Of): You can roast or sauté the cherry tomatoes ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Then, in the morning, just quickly scramble the egg whites and assemble your bowl.
Make it YOUR Way! (Ingredient Swaps & Ideas):
Want to change things up? Here are some fun ideas to make this bowl even more unique:
- Spice it up MORE: Add a pinch of chili flakes for a little heat, or a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
- Herb Heaven: Sprinkle fresh herbs like chopped parsley, cilantro, or basil on top for extra freshness.
- Green Goodness: Add a handful of spinach or kale to the pan when you sauté the tomatoes, or mix some baby spinach into the egg whites while they cook.
- Seed Power: Sprinkle toasted pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or sesame seeds on top for extra crunch and healthy fats.
- Cheesy Please (But Calorie Watch!): A tiny sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or feta cheese can add a salty, cheesy flavor (but remember to keep it small to stay under 250 calories!).
- Lemon Zing: Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice or lime juice over the finished bowl for a bright, zesty flavor.
- Different Onions: Use green onions (scallions) instead of red onion for a milder onion taste.
What to Eat it With? (Bowl Buddies!)
This Sunshine Scramble Bowl is awesome on its own, but if you want to make it a bigger meal or add something extra, try these:
- Whole Wheat Toast: Serve it with a slice of whole wheat toast or a whole grain English muffin for some extra carbs and fiber.
- Side Salad: A small side salad with leafy greens and a light vinaigrette dressing would be a fresh and healthy addition.
- Fruit Salad: Follow up your bowl with a small fruit salad for a sweet and refreshing treat.
- Yogurt: A small bowl of plain Greek yogurt with berries can add extra protein and calcium.
So there you have it – your very own Sunshine Scramble Breakfast Bowl! It’s healthy, tasty, and totally YOU-nique. Give it a try and let me know what you think! Happy cooking!
