Steps
Start by adding the eggs to a small saucepan with 1 inch of water in the bottom. Bring the water to a boil, cover the pot and reduce to simmer for 5 - 6 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, add all the pesto ingredients to a food processor. Process until almost smooth (no large chunks wanted here!).
When eggs are done cooking, rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Let stand in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes.
Prepare your breakfast bowls: add 1 cup quinoa, half of the avocado thinly sliced and half the pesto.
When eggs have cooled, peel them and slice in half. Add to the bowl and sprinkle with half the hemp and chia seeds.
Enjoy as is, season with a touch more salt and pepper, or mix it all together (that's what I did and yum!).

Pam on 2019-01-29 (5 stars): This looks so good. I was wondering how long cooked quinoa will last in fridge. I'd like to cook enough on the weekend to be able to use several times during the week. Any issues doing that?
Sunshine311 on 2016-09-05 (4 stars): This recipe is wonderful! I made my quinoa with chicken broth; didn't have a ripe avocado so skipped that ingredient, though not intentionally; and I overcooked the eggs. I can't wait to make this again. My husband, a notoriously picky eater, also enjoyed it after putting Sriracha on top.
I can't wait to try your other recipes!
Cassie Autumn Tran on 2016-04-25 (5 stars): Lee Hersh's latest meal prep breakfast roundup brought me here where I was entranced by the gorgeous layout of the delicious eggs on top of the quinoa and pesto! YUM! I've been eating savory a lot too, and it's delicious! I love this idea so much!

Some of my favorite food ingredients being used here! Definitely going to try making it and see if it looks as good as it does here.
Thanks for sharing,
