Avocado & Bacon Breakfast Bowl with Soft-Scrambled Eggs

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

While quinoa cooks, peel and dice 2 large sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Dice 1 medium red bell pepper and 1 small red onion.

Toss sweet potatoes, bell pepper, and onion with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika on a baking sheet.

Roast vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.

While vegetables roast, arrange 12 slices of bacon on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the oven (on a separate rack from vegetables) and cook for 15-18 minutes until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Mince 3 cloves of garlic. In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, sauté garlic and 2 cups fresh spinach until spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

In a bowl, whisk together 12 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and melt. Pour in egg mixture and cook slowly, stirring gently with a spatula to create soft curds, about 5-7 minutes until just set but still creamy. Remove from heat and fold in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.

Halve, pit, and dice 2 medium avocados. Slice 1 cup cherry tomatoes in half. Chop 4 stalks of green onions and 1/4 cup fresh cilantro. Cut 1 lime into wedges.

To assemble each bowl, start with a base of quinoa, add roasted vegetables, sautéed spinach, soft-scrambled eggs, bacon pieces, diced avocado, and cherry tomatoes.

Garnish with green onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve with hot sauce on the side if desired.
