Southwestern Quinoa and Egg Breakfast Bowl
Are you in a hurry in the mornings? Do you like easy breakfasts? How about healthy recipes? This recipe ticks all the boxes to add to your healthy meal plans.
- If you are in a hurry on a weekday morning, substitute hard-boiled eggs that have been made in advance. *a tip taken straight from the recipe
Did you know that cooked quinoa stores well in the freezer? I didn’t know that until I grabbed the tips from the recipe. You can make a big batch and freeze in Ziploc® bags
I made the quinoa fresh for my recipe, it takes about 15 minutes. Then I portioned it in my bowl. While the quinoa was cooking I chopped my veggies. Since the recipe only calls for half the avocado A handy, eco friendly avocado food saver to keep the other half fresh
Then I cooked the eggs
Next we started adding the vegetables, tomatoes, corn, green onions, cilantro right on top of the quinoa that we portioned onto the plate.
And avocados, then topped it with the egg.
Finished with the optional hot sauce
Every bite was so so good! We added mild hot sauce to our breakfast bowl. Would you? Do you like it hot, medium or mild? I’ll be the first to admit that breakfast time is the hardest time to connect at the table for us during the school year. We have night owls in the family. Sammie is always studying late, and that is when I write or edit photos. Can you relate?
- We are pledging to connect more at the table, especially in the mornings. What is the meal that you struggle most to sit down with as a family?

My Recipe Notes: I made my quinoa the same day, it only takes 15 minutes. I set it the quinoa to the side while prepping the vegetables. It only took 5 minutes to prep veggies. I decided to make our eggs over medium, 4-5 min.
