Scale
Eggs and Cheese
- 2 Organic Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Quinoa Base
- 1/2 cup Quinoa
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup Fresh Baby Spinach
Instructions
- Whisk the Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk 2 organic eggs thoroughly until fully blended and slightly frothy.
- Cook the Quinoa Crisp: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup quinoa, spreading it evenly in the pan. Cook without stirring for about 4 minutes until a crisp golden crust forms on the bottom.
- Add Eggs and Toppings: Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the crisp quinoa layer. Immediately top with 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach and 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese.

Notes
- Use organic eggs for the best flavor and quality.

- Covering the skillet helps the cheese melt evenly and the egg cook through.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
- Spinach can be substituted with other leafy greens like kale or arugula.
