Quinoa Polenta for Breakfast?

MY HOUSE, TACOMA WASHINGTON
There is something amazing about Quinoa Polenta.  The texture, the taste and the many ways you can use it in cooking.  This morning I was craving something different for breakfast.  Something bright in taste and color.  I put this little number together in minutes.  After a friend told me that you could poach an egg in the microwave using a coffee mug, white vinegar and one minute on the timer (don't forget to puncture the yoke so the egg doesn't explode).  
I started with Polenta from Ancient Harvest that you can find in your Organic Section at the food store is already pre-cooked you just have to decide how you are going to use it.  I cut it in slices and put a little olive oil in a pan and lightly fried it so it would add texture to the meal.  While I was cooking the Polenta I put the egg in the microwave.  One minute is all you need and make sure you only fill the mug a little under half way and a cap full of the white vinegar.  The egg should be done about the same time as the Polenta.  Then I added some salt and peppered tomato and a fresh basil leaf.    Super fast and a good start to your busy day!
