Place pecans in a roasting pan or sheet tray and toss with olive oil. Roast for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully toss with za’atar. Return to oven and roast for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the nuts are fragrant. Remove from oven and let cool.
Rinse the quinoa and place in a pan with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 12 minutes or until most of the water has been absorbed. After 12 minutes, turn off heat and let quinoa sit for 5 minutes.
Assemble the bowls: divide quinoa into four bowls. Top with tomatoes, fried or poached egg, and pecans. Top with parsley and serve.
