Quinoa & Egg Breakfast Plate image

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.
