Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Quinoa Base
  • 1 cup quinoa rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups vegetable broth or water
For the Vegetables
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
  • 1 cup spinach fresh, chopped
  • 1 medium bell pepper diced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
For Topping
  • 4 large eggs poached
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning

Method
 

Prepare the Quinoa
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
Sauté the Vegetables
  1. While the quinoa is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Bowl
  1. Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and divide it evenly among four bowls.
  2. Top each bowl with the sautéed vegetables and a poached egg.
  3. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and garnish with fresh parsley.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty breakfast!

Notes

Feel free to customize this bowl with your favorite vegetables or proteins. You can also add avocado for extra creaminess, or replace feta cheese with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option.
