Ingredients

    3 cups quinoa, cooked

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F
Line a muffin tin with olive oil or canola oil
Cook quinoa according to instructions (always a 1:2 ratio; quinoa to water)
Once quinoa is cooked, fill each muffin space about 1/4 way with quinoa
On top of the quinoa sprinkle some chopped kale
Followed by about .5-1oz of lox, a small piece just to cover the kale
Crack an egg over the lox, and top with a thin layer of quinoa, just enough to fill the muffin space (NOTE: you want about 1/4 cup of quinoa per egg)
With a fork, work the egg through the other ingredients, to insure the muffin holding its shape
