©JohnnaKnowsGoodFood

1 cup quinoa (*cook according to package directions)

½ cup green peas (*Frozen)

½ cup red onions (diced)

Salt & Pepper (*to taste)

2 tbsp. Red Wine Vinegar

1 egg

Olive Oil

Hollandaise Sauce (*for garnish) (*Packet can be found at your local grocery store or you can make from scratch using this recipe here)

Cook quinoa according to package directions. In a small skillet, add in about 1 tbsp. olive oil and sauté red onions over medium heat until softened; remove from heat. Heat green peas according to package directions. Cook hollandaise sauce according to package directions or use recipe here. In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, peas, onions, salt, pepper and red wine vinegar; combine by folding ingredients into bowl. In a small skillet, add about 1 tbsp. olive oil and add in egg; cook on both sides for 1-2 minutes (*to make overhard). Spoon about 3-4 tbsp. of quinoa mixture on plate; top with egg and hollandaise and serve.

*Johnna’s tip: I have a new obsession with quinoa. With that being said, it’s no surprise that I am trying to come up with every way to jazz up the grainy substance. On this particular day, I had a craving for breakfast and quinoa. My fave breakfast food is eggs florentine so I thought I would marry the two and here we have egg topped quinoa with hollandaise. Not totally outside the box, but it hit the spot and took 10 minutes.
