Place eggs in saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover eggs by 1 inch; bring to boil over
medium-high heat. Remove from heat; cover and let stand for 13 minutes. Drain and transfer eggs
to bowl of ice water. Let stand until cool.
Peel eggs and cut in half lengthwise. Transfer yolks to bowl; mash using fork until smooth. Stir in
quinoa, yogurt and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place egg whites, hollowed side up, on serving plate; spoon yolk mixture into egg whites. Cover
and refrigerate until set, at least 15 minutes or up to 24 hours.
For extra zip, add a little mustard to the quinoa mixture and sprinkle chipotle powder over top of
eggs. Enjoy!
Insider Information:
To prepare ½ cup cooked quinoa, combine 2½ tbsp quinoa and ⅓ cup water in a saucepan. Bring
to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes
or until water is just barely absorbed. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let
cool completely.
