Chef's Note

For perfectly poached eggs, use the freshest eggs possible and add vinegar to the poaching water to help the whites coagulate quickly. If you're short on time, you can prepare the grains the night before and reheat them in the morning with a splash of water or broth.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup farro

  • 1/2 cup quinoa

  • 3 cups vegetable broth

  • 8 large eggs

  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar

  • 2 medium ripe avocados

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

  • 2 cups baby spinach

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 1/2 cup microgreens

  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

Instructions
  • 1

    Rinse 1 cup farro and 1/2 cup quinoa thoroughly under cold water.

  • 2

    In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rinsed farro and quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until tender but still chewy.

  • 3

    While the grains cook, fill a large, deep skillet with water (about 3 inches deep) and bring to a gentle simmer. Add 2 teaspoons white vinegar to the water.

  • 4

    Crack each egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water with a spoon, then carefully slide each egg into the water. Poach 2 eggs at a time for 3-4 minutes for runny yolks.

  • 5

    Remove poached eggs with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining eggs.

  • 6

    Slice 2 avocados and halve 1 cup cherry tomatoes.

  • 7

    In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to make a simple dressing.

  • 8

    Fluff the cooked grains with a fork and divide among four bowls.

  • 9

    Top each bowl with 2 cups baby spinach divided evenly, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and 2 poached eggs.

  • 10

    Drizzle with the prepared dressing, then sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/2 cup microgreens, and 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds divided among the bowls.

Way more delicious that I thought it would be. The dressing soaked into the faro and quinoa and made this breakfast delightful.
