Mediterranean Hummus Bowl

We’re talking creamy hummus, jammy eggs, spiced beef, crunchy cucumbers, juicy cherry tomatoes, briny olives, a flutter of micro greens, and warm pita to scoop up every last bit. It’s like a mezze platter decided to tidy itself up and become a balanced lunch. Bless.

Instructions

Boil the eggs

Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil and add a little salt. Carefully lower in the eggs and cook for exactly 6½ minutes for that perfect jammy yolk. It's important to add the eggs to boiling water vs bringing them to a boil. While they cook, prepare a bowl of ice water.
2 eggs

Cool & peel

Once the timer’s up, immediately transfer the eggs to the ice water bath to stop the cooking. Let them sit for 2–3 minutes, then peel gently under cool running water. Set aside.

Ground Beef

Cook the ground beef on medium heat. Add the seasonings and lemon juice, and cook until nicely browned.
½ lb ground beef, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Prep the veggies

While the eggs cool, slice the cherry tomatoes in half, cut the cucumbers into thin rounds, and halve or slice the green olives (or I also like to keep them whole). Season the tomatoes and cucumber with olive oil, salt and pepper.

Season the eggs

Slice the peeled eggs in half. Sprinkle each half with a bit of cumin, sumac, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. It may feel extra, but this step transforms your eggs from basic to wow.

Assemble the bowl

Spread your hummus generously into a shallow bowl or plate, making a few swirls with the back of a spoon. Think restaurant plating—because you deserve that level of presentation.
1 cup Hummus

Top with veggies & eggs

Arrange the cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, and microgreens around the hummus. Gently place your seasoned egg halves on top like little gems.
⅓ cup microgreens
Top with a little more cumin and sumac.
½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon Sumac

Finish strong

Drizzle the whole thing with olive oil, toss some warm chopped pita on the side, and serve immediately. Snap a photo. Then dig in.

My Garlic Hummus Recipe

How to Store

Store components separately: For best results, keep the hummus, chopped veggies, and eggs in separate airtight containers in the fridge. This prevents things from getting soggy or blending together in a weird way.
Eggs: Soft-boiled eggs will last up to 3 days peeled and stored in an airtight container. Keep them dry to avoid that rubbery texture.
Veggies: Tomatoes and cucumbers are best enjoyed fresh, but they’ll keep for 2–3 days if prepped and stored separately.
Hummus: Store-bought or homemade hummus can last 5–7 days in the fridge.

💡 Assemble the bowl just before serving for the freshest taste and best texture. Let me know if you want a note about prepping it for lunchboxes or meal prep too!
