  • 1/2 teaspoon of dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil

Omelet

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup of milk
  • 2 tablespoons of butter, divided
  • 1 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup of fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup of pitted kalamata olives, halved
  • 1/4 cup of roasted red peppers, chopped or sliced
  • 1/4 cup of marinated artichoke hearts, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon of dried basil
  • 2 ounces of feta cheese, crumbled
  • Toasted pine nuts, avocados, and grape tomatoes for topping
  • Sea salt and pepper

Preparation

  1. Prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining the designated ingredients and pouring them through a strainer. Set aside.
  2. Make a quinoa salad by combining quinoa, chopped spinach, olives, roasted red peppers, chopped artichokes, sundried tomatoes, garlic, oregano and basil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, toss, then set aside.
  3. Whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt and pepper. You want the egg mixture to be pretty scrambled. Heat a tablespoon of butter in a skillet and add the egg mixture. Cook for several minutes, until egg is set and bottom is lightly browned.
  4. Fill with quinoa salad and feta cheese. Top with additional feta, grape tomatoes, pine nuts, and avocado slices.
