Hey there, fellow art enthusiasts! Robert Kline here, and today I’m trading in my paintbrushes for a spatula to share one of my favorite recipes that fuels my creativity: a power-packed Quinoa Egg Scramble. Just like a vibrant art piece, this dish bursts with flavor and texture, keeping me energized throughout the day.
This isn’t your average scramble. We’re adding a unique twist – quinoa – transforming a simple breakfast staple into a protein-rich, satisfying meal. I always find that starting my day with a nutritious and delicious breakfast helps to spark my creativity in the studio.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
Just like gathering your art supplies, we’ll start with simple, wholesome ingredients:
- Quinoa: The star of the show! Cook 1 cup according to package instructions. This will provide enough for multiple servings.
- Eggs: I use 2, but adjust based on your appetite.
- Fresh Spinach: Adds a vibrant green hue and a dose of vitamins. Feel free to substitute with your favorite veggies – kale, bell peppers, or mushrooms work wonderfully!
- Cheese: Because everything tastes better with cheese! Mozzarella, cheddar, or Parmesan are all delicious options.
- Garlic: A couple of cloves add a fragrant punch.
- Olive Oil: For that heart-healthy fat.
- Seasonings: Salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or chives elevate the flavors.
Creating Your Masterpiece:
Just like starting a new art project, we’ll follow these easy steps:
- Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a pan, then add the chopped garlic. The aroma alone is enough to wake up your senses!
- Scramble the Eggs: Whisk your eggs in a separate bowl and pour them into the pan.
- Add the Goodness: Once the eggs begin to cook, toss in the spinach, cheese, and cooked quinoa. Stir gently to combine.
- Season to Perfection: Season with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs for a final flourish.
- Serve and Enjoy: Plate your masterpiece and garnish with a sprinkle of cheese and fresh herbs.
