Made up some roasted vegetable tomato sauce for pasta, pizza toppings etc.
It’s official: this quinoa-egg scramble is the holy grail of breakfasts. I made this in the morning using just five ingredients:
- quinoa (left over from last night’s dinner)
- one egg
- red pepper
- avocado
- spinach
Let the spinach wilt on a medium heat until limp, then add the egg and cook for two minutes before adding the red pepper and quinoa. I add the avocado once the scramble is in the bowl. Enjoy!
