Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and fresh pepper
  • 8 thick slices bacon cooked
  • 4 cups fresh arugula
  • 1 bunch green scallions thinly sliced
  • 1 cup roasted pistachios or nuts of your choice
  • 4 large eggs

For the Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add the tomatoes to a baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft. Transfer the tomatoes to a small plate. 
  • While the tomatoes are roasting, add the quinoa to a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold tap water swishing around with your hand to get that bitter coating washed off. Add the quinoa to a small saucepan, stir in 2 cups of water or broth, bring to a rolling boil. Turn heat down to the lowest setting, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the pot from heat and let stand for 5 more minutes, covered then fluff with a fork.
  • Fill a medium-sized saucepan with water and bring to a boil, reduce to the lowest temperature and carefully add 4 eggs and simmer for 3-minutes, or until preferred doneness.
  • Meanwhile, divide the quinoa, hot tomatoes, bacon, arugula, scallions and pistachios between 4 bowls. 
  • In a small dish Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and lemon juice and whisk together until smooth. 
  • Remove the poached eggs from the simmering water and add one egg to each bow. Serve with the sauce.
