Crispy Quinoa Omelet

Crispy rice omelets are social media famous, but this is made with quinoa instead! Put cooked quinoa into a skillet, let it get crispy, and then pour over EB eggs, veggies, and cheese. It’s a quick, savory, and balanced recovery meal any time of day, even after a late game of pickleball. One omelet has 20g of carbs to replenish energy and 20g of protein for muscle support.

1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup chopped baby spinach
2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
Preparation
- In a small bowl, whisk Eggland’s Best Eggs.

- Pour in whisked eggs and top with spinach and cheddar cheese.
- Cover and cook for about 3 minutes without stirring, until the egg is set and cheese is melted.

Time Saver: Use frozen pre-cooked quinoa, just thaw before using.
