Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 cup baby spinach
- ½ avocado, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
- 1 egg (optional for topping)
- Feta cheese
- Cherry tomatoes
- Chili flakes
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil: Warm 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat to prevent the spinach from sticking and to start the sautéing process.
- Sauté spinach: Add 1 cup of baby spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts and brightens in color, about 2–3 minutes.
- Prepare quinoa base: Place 1 cup of warm cooked quinoa in a serving bowl as the base of your breakfast bowl.
- Add sautéed spinach and avocado: Top the quinoa with the sautéed spinach and sliced half an avocado, arranged neatly for a visually appealing presentation.
- Cook the egg (optional): If using, fry or poach one egg to your desired doneness and carefully place it on top of the bowl.
- Season and garnish: Sprinkle salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Add any optional toppings such as crumbled feta, halved cherry tomatoes, or chili flakes for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute quinoa with brown rice or farro for different textures and flavors.
- This recipe works well for meal prep if you store cooked quinoa, sautéed spinach, and sliced avocado separately to maintain freshness.
