Don’t you just love Trader Joe’s? I mean who doesn’t, right? While I do most of my shopping at Sprouts because I try to buy all organic and non-GMO verified stuff (Trader Joe’s refuses to get the butterfly on any of their products) but when it comes to snacks and frozen food options, Trader Joe’s reigns supreme!
One of my favorite snacks is their Trader Giotto’s Bruschetta in a jar. As you can tell from the name of this blog, I’m kind of obsessed with tomatoes and this Bruschetta can be used in many different ways. Typically, I enjoy it with crackers, but many years ago I actually started incorporating it into my breakfast. The Bruschetta, Eggs, & Quinoa bowl is packed with protein, fiber, and good fats.

Do my eggs need to be scrambled?
No, they do not need to be scrambled eggs. If you’re like me, I have a weird thing with eggs. Sometimes I can’t eat them for weeks, other times I only want an omelet, sometimes I will only eat fried eggs with the yolk carved out, and now I usually only eat scrambled eggs in recipes like this, where there is something else to accompany/mix with them.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I have a feeling others can relate to this egg saga! So, with that being said, if you prefer to fry the eggs, with a runny yolk or cooked yolks instead, or even poach the eggs, you can certainly do that and place them on top!
Should I use butter or oil in the pan?
The Trader Giotto’s Bruschetta already has oil in it, so you want to be mindful of using butter in your pan instead of oil when you cook your eggs.
