Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 cup spinach, sautéed
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 eggs, poached or scrambled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or your choice of dressing
Instructions
- Start by cooking quinoa according to package instructions, usually about 15 minutes. Rinse under cold water and combine with water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a pan, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare eggs to preference—poach them for about 4 minutes or scramble them in a nonstick skillet until fluffy.
- In a deep bowl, layer quinoa as the base and top with sautéed spinach, sliced avocado, and cherry tomatoes. Add cooked eggs on top and season with salt, pepper, and dressing. Serve warm.
Notes
Rinse quinoa before cooking to enhance flavor. Customize eggs and dressings to your liking.
