Breakfast Quinoa and Egg Bowl, by Cheryl



How are we midway through January and this our first post of 2018? We've gotta get blogging! This breakfast was so hearty and delicious... a savory breakfast indeed. The runny yolk from the provided a nice sauce for the quinoa, and the healthy dose of veggies gave it some extra crunch. I cooked the vegetables in white truffle oil, but regular oil will do. Any mixture of vegetables work. Yum!

Ingredients:

1/2 - 1 cup cooked quinoa
2 eggs
Mixture of cut vegetables: I used bell pepper, spinach, and mushrooms
Salt to taste

Directions:

1) Cook quinoa according to package directions.

2) Cook vegetables in light oil over medium heat until cooked through.

3) Poach two eggs: Break two eggs into a small bowl. Bring water to a boil in a pot. When boiling, turn off the heat and slowly pour the eggs into the water. Wait about 1.5-2 minutes until whites are cooked, but inside is still runny. Carefully pick up with slotted spoon and place in bowl with quinoa and vegetables. Sprinkle with salt if desired.
