  2. Warm the black beans slightly if preferred.
Assemble the Bowl
  1. Arrange the cooked eggs, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and black beans neatly over the base in each bowl.
  2. Sprinkle with crumbled feta or goat cheese.
Dress and Serve

  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
