For a hearty breakfast chili, you need simple yet bold ingredients. Start with fresh vegetables. Onions add sweetness, while bell peppers bring a crunch. I love using both red and green bell peppers for a pop of color. Garlic adds depth and flavor that makes this dish sing.

Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (red or green), diced

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes (with green chilies for extra spice)

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

4 eggs

1 avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sliced jalapeños (optional, for added heat)

Feta cheese (optional, for a creamy topping)

Instructions
 

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until it becomes translucent.

      Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the bell pepper softens.

        Add the black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

          Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chili to thicken slightly.

            Create four small wells in the chili mixture and gently crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness (runny or firm yolks).

              Once cooked, remove from heat and carefully serve the chili and eggs onto plates.

                Top with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, jalapeños (if using), and a sprinkle of feta cheese for an extra flavor boost.

                    - Presentation Tips: Serve the dish in deep bowls, arranging the eggs carefully in the center surrounded by the vibrant chili. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and lemon juice over the top for added flavor and freshness.
