# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The salty feta and bright vegetables wake up your tastebuds faster than any alarm clock possibly could
  • You can prep almost everything the night before and still feel like you put real effort into breakfast
02 -
  • The temperature contrast between warm eggs and room temperature vegetables is what makes this feel special
  • Don't overdress the bowls since the vegetables will release water as they sit
03 -
  • Pat your chopped vegetables dry with a paper towel to prevent the bottom of your bowl from becoming watery
  • Let the eggs rest on a paper towel for thirty seconds before transferring to the bowls
