Steps:
- Put the quinoa in a small pan with 250ml water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and gently simmer for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally until most of the water has been absorbed and the grains have doubled in size (if there's any water left in the pan, drain well).
- Tip into a bowl and stir through the beans, spices, lime zest and juice and vinegar. Stir well, then add the tomatoes, avocado, coriander and onion, and spoon onto plates.
- Heat a drop of oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the eggs until the whites are set with a crispy edge and the yolk is runny. Serve the quinoa topped with the eggs.

QUINOA & EGG BREAKFAST PLATE
I found a vegetarian version of this yummy breakfast on the net at www.spabettie.com. After posting this recipe the blogger became vegan. I was put off by how her vegan followers were ripping on her for posting a forbidden egg recipe..I, for one, love eggs and believe them to be very good for you and so is quinoa. So if you are vegan, this is not the recipe for you. Vegetarians and us carnivors will love it for sure. This breakfast is low in fat & packed with protein and very good for you. Every time I make it, I stay full for at least 5 hrs, and for around 400 calories...that is awesome.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a non stick frying pan over medium heat. Add cooked quinoa (I always have some leftover in the fridge for this recipe, a quick salad or healthy lunch) Spread quinoa flat and fry on both sides till lightly browned. Turn heat to med/low.
- Make 2 wells in quinoa. Break an egg into each well. Sprinkle with salt & pepper. Add 1 Tbl. cheese on top of each egg. Cover with lid and cook about 3 minutes, or to desired egg doneness.
- You can eat this as is or top with pico de gallo and a Tbl. of light sour cream (My preference) Enjoy!
