Review rephrased: This dish was delicious. I decided to use multicolored quinoa and hard-boiled eggs from my fridge. I seasoned it to my liking and enjoyed it without any runniness in the eggs. I will definitely make it again. To those who are unsatisfied with the photo, I personally prefer hard-cooked eggs. The recipe allows you to cook the eggs to your preference. Whether you prefer scrambled, sunny-side-up, or any other style, feel free to customize it. If you dislike the photo, you can always take your own and share it.

I found the recipe to be decent but slightly lacking in flavor. I used it as a base and customized it to my liking by adding some extra ingredients. I quickly whipped up a pico de gallo with tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro, and threw in some black beans for good measure. I believe these additions brought out more complexity in the taste and paired well with the original ingredients.

I've tried this recipe twice now, and I absolutely adored it the second time around. The first time, I followed the recipe exactly and paired it with sunny-side-up eggs. However, the second time, I opted to scramble the eggs with spinach and grape tomatoes, and I believe that's the winning combination. It's worth noting that a single serving of this dish is on the smaller side - during my second attempt, I prepared it for lunch and ended up devouring both servings.

I love adding fresh baby spinach at the base of my bowl before topping it with quinoa. The warmth of the quinoa lightly wilts the spinach, creating a delicious combination. I also like to include tomatoes for extra flavor, and I personally choose to top it with goat cheese for a bit of creaminess. To add some heat and kickstart my metabolism, I sprinkle some cayenne pepper and hot sauce over everything. It's the perfect way to start the day with a nutritious and flavorful meal.

Amazing dish! I opted for one soft or hard-boiled egg and just half an avocado. Preparing the quinoa and eggs ahead of time made the morning assembly a breeze. Despite its appearance, it's surprisingly not dry at all! The feta cheese really packs a flavorful punch.

I've been preparing this dish for approximately a year, and I absolutely adore it. I give it four stars because of the numerous substitutions I often make. I like to sprinkle turmeric on the quinoa, use hard-boiled eggs (I add one and a half eggs to each serving), and omit the avocado. Sometimes, I also incorporate fresh berries or spinach if I happen to have them available. Personally, I found that the texture contrast between the hard-boiled eggs and avocado didn't quite suit my taste, but I prefer being able to prepare four servings in advance.

I absolutely adored this delightful and vibrant breakfast bowl! I opted for red quinoa as the foundation, then sautéed onions and spinach, and scrambled them with eggs in bacon drippings, seasoning with salt and pepper to my liking. Layering the egg mixture over the quinoa, I topped it off with avocado, feta cheese, and diced tomato. While my son preferred the dish without tomato and feta, he jazzed it up with a dash of Tabasco sauce, noting that the onions were a standout element. The versatility of this dish is fantastic; I can imagine incorporating mushrooms, peppers, bacon... the options are endless. We relished this meal and will certainly be making it again. Thank you for sharing!

I decided to top a bed of greens with halved grape tomatoes and smoked salmon. This filling meal kept me satisfied all day. Next time, I might choose to cook the quinoa on the stove rather than using a rice cooker.

I absolutely adored the inspiration behind this recipe. It brought to mind a taco bowl, so I decided to swap out the cheese for Oaxacan, and topped it off with a dollop of sour cream and salsa verde. Honestly, I had some leftover brisket, diced about a half cup of it, and my husband and I completely polished off this bowl. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.

I am giving this recipe 3 stars because I personally do not enjoy feta cheese and have heard others find it bland. Goat cheese, with its mild and creamy taste, would be a better alternative. In addition to the feta, the recipe lacks spice, and I would suggest replacing quinoa with a different grain like wild rice pilaf or a rice mix. Adding black beans, onions, taco seasoning, and salsa could make this a hearty meal. To accommodate my wife's preference for firm eggs, I would use hard-boiled or poached eggs with fully coagulated yolks. A larger bowl would be necessary as mixing everything could be messy. Serving it with tortilla chips could complement the dish nicely.

I have been making this recipe for years. In our household, we avoid using quinoa, so we typically substitute black beans, green peas, or a chunky chickpea hummus. We also add goat cheese, grated parmesan, or manchego. Topped with avocado, bacon, parsley, grilled cherry tomatoes, and voilà, you have a delicious dish! Our version deserves 4 stars. While we usually stick to the original recipe, we have been experimenting with this one for so long that we haven't found the need to make any major changes. Feel free to create your own variation based on this recipe.

Perfect healthy meal!! Absolutely loved it! The Lemon Herb Vinaigrette included in the magazine version took it to the next level of perfection. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it on the website.

I enhanced the dish by including turkey sausage, sautéed spinach, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. You can also transform it into a hearty lunch option by adding grilled chicken.

I found this recipe to be decent but lacking a bit of flavor. I decided to enhance it by incorporating habanero shredded cheese and swapping out regular eggs for egg whites. The result was fantastic! A simple and nutritious breakfast option. Appreciate you for posting this recipe.

I have been making this recipe for years. In our household, we prefer not to use quinoa, so we typically substitute with black beans, green peas, or homemade chickpea hummus (the chunkier, the better). We also like to add goat cheese, grated parmesan, or manchego, along with avocado, bacon, parsley, grilled cherry tomatoes, and voilà! Our version deserves 4 stars. While we usually stick to the original recipe, we have been experimenting with variations for so long that we didn't see the need to change it. Feel free to create your own version using this as a base.

Rewritten review: This morning recipe is fantastic! I'm not someone who usually cooks in the morning, but I decided to give this a try. I followed the recipe exactly, except I used a hard-boiled egg from the fridge like another reviewer suggested, which saved me a step. It was quick, simple, and super tasty – definitely a recipe worth keeping!

I absolutely loved this alternative breakfast bowl! I have an egg sensitivity, but with the avocado and quinoa, it was incredibly delicious! I will definitely be making this again!
