SERVINGS
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2 cups filtered water
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 eggs
- Smoked Hollandaise Sauce (optional)
Directions
- Combine the quinoa and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a low simmer, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender.
- Meanwhile, in a cast-iron skillet, fry the bacon until crispy, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
- In a separate cast-iron skillet, melt the butter and fry the eggs gently until they’re cooked but the yolks remain runny.
- Spoon 1/2 cup of the cooked quinoa onto each of four plates. Top each pile of quinoa with one egg. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of Smoked Hollandaise Sauce. Crumble one piece of bacon over the top of the sauce and add a twist of freshly ground pepper.
- Die of breakfast (or lunch or dinner) happiness.
