Chef's Note

For meal prep, prepare the quinoa mixture ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the quinoa gently and prepare the fresh toppings and egg. This saves time on busy mornings while still enjoying a nutritious breakfast!

Ingredients
  • 1 cup quinoa

  • 2 cups vegetable broth

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

  • 2 cups baby spinach

  • 3 stalks green onions

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 small lemon

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese

  • 1 medium avocado

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
  • 1

    Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer until water runs clear.

  • 2

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender.

  • 3

    Remove quinoa from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

  • 4

    While quinoa is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • 5

    Add 2 cups of baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • 6

    Stir the wilted spinach, 2 sliced green onions, 3 tablespoons of chopped parsley, 2 teaspoons of thyme leaves, lemon zest from 1 small lemon, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into the cooked quinoa.

  • 7

    In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Crack 4 eggs into the pan and cook to your preference (sunny-side up or over easy recommended).

  • 8

    Divide the herbed quinoa mixture among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with a cooked egg, 1/4 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 of the sliced avocado, and 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese.

  • 9

    Garnish with remaining green onion, parsley, and a sprinkle of black pepper.

  • 10

    Serve immediately while warm.
