Savory Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

This healthy breakfast bowl combines nutty quinoa with sautéed vegetables and a perfectly poached egg, offering a delightful mix of textures and flavors. The addition of avocado and a sprinkle of feta cheese adds creaminess and tang, making it a nutritious and satisfying way to start your day.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
• 1/2 cup spinach
• 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 egg
• 1/2 avocado, sliced
• 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add bell peppers and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
2. Add spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until spinach is wilted.
3. In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack the egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes, or until the white is set and the yolk is still runny.
4. In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and sautéed vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Top the quinoa mixture with the poached egg, sliced avocado, and crumbled feta cheese.
6. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
