Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves 4

Ingredients
1 cup plain unsweetened Greek yoghurt
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-4 poached eggs
3/4 cup uncooked quinoa (aim for 1/2 cup cooked quinoa, per person)
2 cups spinach leaves, washed and drained
1 avocado, sliced
100g goats cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato wholegrain mustard
Sesame seeds and fresh dill, to serve
Sea salt and cracked black pepper, to season

Method
Wash uncooked quinoa under cold water.   
Combine 3/4 cup washed quinoa with 1 + 1/4 cups of water and place in a small saucepan. 
Add a very small pinch of salt and bring to the boil. 
Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. 
Simmer quinoa for 15 minutes over low heat or until all the water is absorbed. 
Once absorbed, turn off the heat and rest quinoa for 10 minutes.  Fluff up with a fork before serving.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the Greek yoghurt, dill, parsley and garlic.  Season with a pinch of sea salt and pepper.  Stir until combined and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
With 15 minutes of the quinoa to go, in a separate medium saucepan, fill with 3/4 water. 
Bring water to the boil. 
Reduce heat to low and poach 2-4 eggs.  You may need to do 2 at a time.
Divide the quinoa among 4 bowls and add a large spoonful of the yoghurt mixture on top. 
Then add the spinach leaves and avocado.  Add 1-2 eggs per bowl and garnish with the mustard, fresh herbs, sesame seeds, lemon zest and goats cheese.
