Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa (rinsed)
- 2 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper (diced)
- 2 cup fresh spinach
- 6 eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cucumber (diced)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Combine quinoa and vegetable broth in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- While quinoa cooks, heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add red bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Scramble until cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
- In a separate small bowl, combine diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and lemon juice for a quick salad. Season with salt and black pepper.
- To assemble bowls, divide cooked quinoa among four bowls. Top with scrambled eggs, the cucumber-tomato salad, and crumbled feta cheese if desired.
Notes
You can prep the quinoa and chop the vegetables ahead of time to make this dish even faster on a weeknight. Reheat quinoa and eggs separately for best results.
