I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover quinoa and spinach. I had been eating a lot of oatmeal for breakfast, and I was looking for something different. I combined the quinoa, spinach, and eggs in a bowl, and I was surprised at how delicious it was. I've been making this bowl for breakfast ever since.
