  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 large avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Quinoa: If you haven't already, cook your quinoa according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  1. Soft-Boil the Eggs: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water and simmer for exactly 6.5 to 7 minutes for a jammy yolk. Immediately transfer to an ice bath for 3 minutes before peeling.

  1. Sauté the Greens: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the spinach and a pinch of salt, sautéing just until wilted (about 1-2 minutes).

  1. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa between two bowls. Top with the sautéed spinach, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and the halved soft-boiled eggs.

  1. Garnish and Serve: Drizzle with lemon juice, sprinkle with pumpkin seeds, and season with salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
