Best Scramble Ever

Quinoa Scramble            

I had some leftover Quinoa (from the blue cheese and kalamata recipe) so I threw that in a pan with some eggs and greenery...and whhhhallllllaaa!

If you are starting from ground zero...

Cooked Red Quinoa (or regular Quinoa)
Eggs or Egg whites
Sun dried tomatoes (handful)
Kalamata olivers (half a handful)
Frozen Peas (handful)
Hummus (dollop)

Throw all ingredients (minus eggs) in pan and fry em up for a bit on medium heat. The oil from the Tomatoes will coat the pan so you will not need any spray or butter or other oil.
Add eggs. Cook everything for another minute or so.

I topped mine with some plain hummus (and salt, cause i always add it to everything). So yummy! The pea's make it a lil sweet and the Mediterranean additions add a bit of savory flavor. Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It would be great in a burrito at breakfast, atop spinach (with a light balsamic dressing) for lunch, or accompanied with a protein at dinner. I just ate mine plain for lunch...
P.S. My quinoa had some blue cheese in it cause it was left over. If you made the Quinoa recipe- just add some peas, eggs, and quinoa! Dunzo!
