https://glutenfree-bread.com/recipe-detail/pesto-quinoa-breakfast-bowls/
Ingredients:
- Quinoa - 1 cup
- Water - 2 cups
- pinch of Salt, optional - 1 teaspoon
- Fresh Basil Pesto Sauce, homemade - 1/4 cup
- Eggs, poached or boiled - 2
- Avocado, sliced - 1/2
Steps:
- Rinse the Quinoa.
- Combine the Quinoa and Water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
- Remove the pot from the heat, but keep it covered for 10 more minutes. This allows the quinoa to steam and fluff up.
- After resting, use a fork to fluff the quinoa gently. This helps separate the grains and makes it light and fluffy.
- Once the quinoa is cooked and fluffed, stir in ¼ cup Fresh Basil Pesto Sauce until evenly mixed. Spoon the pesto quinoa into a bowl. Top with a poached egg, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and fresh herbs. Enjoy immediately while the quinoa is warm and the egg is runny!
