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.
