I could eat this every day. I tried. Then my husband the, “I hate quinoa” guy devoured every container I had made, which was stored in the fridge. The flavor of the mushrooms combined with the crunch and nuttiness from the walnuts, then topped with a fried egg. Oh my goodness, hello healthy comfort, I think I love you.

I’ll be making this again tomorrow and will be tripling the batch. Leftovers.

This is the first recipe I had tried from the famous Cannelle et Vanille. Given that I have at least 10 others bookmarked, it looks like I better get cooking.

Cannelle et Vanille has been my inspiration since the beginning. Her photography and styling is perfection (even the imperfections) – I’m constantly scrolling through the pages looking for inspiration for recipes, styling and of course photography. She’s also an lovely writer, who as I can can tell loves her family more than anything. So sweet. Plus, she’s gluten-free!

If you haven’t already, go check out Cannelle et Vanille and then quickly run to the store so you can make this recipe. You won’t be sorry.

Note: I made the dairy-free version of her recipe, omitting mascarpone.

{Recipe adapted from Cannelle et Vanille}

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup shiitake mushrooms
• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 Tablespoon walnuts, chopped
• 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 Tablespoon chives, chopped
• salt + pepper
• Eggs

Directions

In a medium pan, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic and mushrooms on medium heat for approximately 2-3 minutes. Add in the quinoa and stir for about a minute before adding the chicken stock. Season with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat – simmer and cover for about 15 minutes.

Remove your pan from the heat and add walnuts, parsley and chives.

For the egg, gently cook in a little bit of olive oil and then serve on top of the quinoa. Season with salt + pepper.

My new love. Eggs.
