Mealthy Tip

For perfect soft boiled eggs, bring enough water to cover the eggs to a boil. Reduce heat and carefully add the eggs. Simmer for 7-9 minutes, depending on the size of the egg. Transfer to an ice bath until chilled. Make the quinoa ahead of time for a quick breakfast!

Katie Hason says:

I am new to the savory breakfast dishes, but I love it! I used spinach instead of kale, and a fried egg instead of soft boiled. It was really delicious and filling. The perfect way to start my morning!

Laura Griffin says:

I'm addicted to this savory quinoa breakfast bowl! I love the garlicky flavor with the avocado. I also sometimes like to use a fried egg instead of soft boiled. So simple and delicious.

Sheila Long says:

I used oatmeal instead of quinoa and pressure cooked soft boiled eggs. Perfect weekend breakfast recipe.

Jenny J says:

I love savory breakfast bowls! I've made this with oatmeal instead of quinoa. I also topped it with feta cheese.

Steven Gomes says:

Made the soft boiled eggs in my pressure cooker and they turned out perfect. When I'm running short on time, I skip the egg all together and serve it with just quinoa. Iusually make the quinoa the night before so that in the morning it's simply grab and go.
