"This is an alternative version of my apple-cinnamon quinoa breakfast. I like this because it is a savory option for those mornings I don't want sweet."

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup water
1/4 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
1 fresh basil leaf
3 asparagus spears, chopped
1 tablespoon crumbled goat cheese
1 teaspoon chia seeds

Steps:

  • Stir water, quinoa, sage, and basil leaf together in a saucepan; bring water to a boil, cover saucepan with a lid, reduce heat to low, and cook until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove basil leaf from quinoa mixture and discard. Stir asparagus, goat cheese, and chia seeds into the quinoa mixture; replace lid on saucepan and let the mixture steam until the goat cheese melts and the asparagus softens slightly, about 5 minutes.
