Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Frying pan
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Mixing bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup quinoa rinsed
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup spinach leaves
  • 1 small cucumber diced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sliced radishes sprouts, chia seeds

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  • While the quinoa is cooking, heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, or to your desired doneness.
  • Prepare the vegetables by slicing the avocado, halving the cherry tomatoes, dicing the cucumber, and washing the spinach leaves.
  • In two bowls, divide the cooked quinoa evenly. Arrange the avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, spinach leaves, and cucumber on top of the quinoa.
  • Place a cooked egg on top of each bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add any optional toppings like sliced radishes, sprouts, or chia seeds.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy a healthy start to your day.

Pro Tip
Cook quinoa in milk (dairy or plant-based) instead of water for a creamier, richer breakfast bowl. Add a pinch of cinnamon and vanilla while cooking to infuse the flavor throughout.
