Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa, cooled
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup finely chopped bell pepper
  • ½ cup chopped baby spinach
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Cooking spray or butter for the dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
  3. Fold in the cooked quinoa, cheese, bell pepper, and spinach until evenly combined.
  4. Pour into the prepared dish, spread evenly, and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden and set. Let rest 5 minutes.
  5. Slice into squares and serve warm.

Notes

The bake needs a 5-minute rest after the oven, which isn’t included in the active cook time. If you’re short on cooked quinoa, simmer ¾ cup dry quinoa in 1½ cups water until tender, then cool completely before using.
