Ingredients

  • 2 cups quinoa
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 16 asparagus stems
  • 3 cups grape tomatoes
  • Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2/3 cup parmesan finely shredded
  • 4 large eggs

Equipment and Utensils

  • Medium-sized pan with cover
  • Sauté pan
  • Fork

Instructions

  • Thoroughly wash quinoa using a sieve, and shake to drain.
  • Tip quinoa into a medium-sized pan and set aside.
  • Boil water and then tip over quinoa, add salt, and place on high heat.
  • Once water begins to boil, lower to a simmer and cover.
  • Cook until the water has fully absorbed (approx. 15 mins).
  • While quinoa is cooking, wash and trim asparagus and sauté in a pan with a little oil.
  • Do not overcook the asparagus, your stems should retain its deep green color and should still snap when you break them.
  • Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise.
  • Drizzle asparagus and tomatoes with a little olive oil and salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Once quinoa is cooked fork through quinoa to separate and then mix with parmesan.

Assemble Quinoa Bowls

  • Heap quinoa mixture into one side of your bowls.
  • Layer 4 asparagus stems with the heads of the stems resting on the quinoa in each bowl.
  • Fill the available space in your bowls with tomato halves.
  • Set bowls aside while you fry your eggs, and place one egg on top of your ingredients in each bowl.
  • Serve with juice mixed with sparkling water.
