Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked quinoa

2 large eggs

1 cup spinach, fresh

½ avocado, sliced

¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives)

Optional toppings: cherry tomatoes, hot sauce, or nuts

Instructions
 

Cook Quinoa: If you haven’t already cooked your quinoa, rinse ½ cup of quinoa under cold water, add it to a pot with 1 cup of water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes until water has absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

    Sauté Spinach: In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Cook Eggs: In a separate non-stick skillet, cook the eggs according to your preference—scrambled, poached, or fried. For scrambled, whisk the eggs in a bowl, pour into the skillet, and cook until set. For poached, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer, crack the eggs into the water and cook for about 3-4 minutes.

        Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, start with a base of cooked quinoa. Top with sautéed spinach, cooked eggs, and sliced avocado. Sprinkle feta cheese on top.

          Garnish: Add your choice of chopped fresh herbs and any optional toppings like cherry tomatoes, a drizzle of hot sauce, or a handful of nuts for added texture and flavor.

            Serve: Enjoy immediately while warm for a nutritious high-protein breakfast!
