Quinoa Breakfast Bowl with 6-Minute Egg



Active Time 5 Mins


Total Time 15 Mins


Yield Serves 1 (serving size: 2 cups)


Embrace breakfast’s savory side with this whole-grain bowl. This simple one-dish meal is crowned with a soft-boiled egg; the nutrient-rich yolk creates its own creamy sauce. New research shows that eating eggs with raw vegetables like tomatoes increases your absorption of carotenoids—antioxidants that may protect against heart disease.


Ingredients

  • 1 large egg, at room temperature

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, divided

  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 cup lacinato kale, roughly chopped

  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa

  • 1/3 cup halved cherry tomatoes

  • 1/4 ripe avocado

  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

How to Make It

Step 1 Bring 3 inches of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add egg; boil 6 minutes. Plunge egg into ice water; let stand 1 minute. Drain and peel.

Step 2 Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small skillet over medium. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds. Add kale; cook, stirring often, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3 Combine quinoa, kale, tomatoes, and avocado in a bowl. Drizzle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Place egg on top; slice egg in half.
