Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup kale, chopped

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine quinoa and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed.

  2. 2

    In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add kale and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted.

  3. 3

    While quinoa cooks, bring a small pot of water to a simmer. Gently lower eggs into water and cook for 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Cool and peel.

  4. 4

    Divide quinoa among four bowls, top with sautéed kale, egg, avocado slices, and cherry tomatoes.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and red pepper flakes, if using.

  6. 6

    Season with salt and pepper. Squeeze lime wedges over the bowls before serving.

Chef's tip

Optional red pepper flakes can be omitted for a milder version. Consider adding a dollop of pesto for added flavor.
