Quinoa Breakfast Bake is a nutritious, protein-rich casserole combining cooked quinoa, eggs, vegetables, and cheese for a wholesome and satisfying morning meal perfect for meal prep or feeding a crowd.

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup cooked quinoa
  2. 6 large eggs
  3. 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  4. 1 cup chopped spinach or kale
  5. 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  6. 1/2 cup diced onion
  7. 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
  8. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  9. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  10. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and bell peppers until softened, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, and half of the cheese to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.
  4. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes until set and lightly golden on top.
  6. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

 

  1. Include mushrooms, zucchini, or tomatoes for more veggies.
  2. Spice it up with red pepper flakes, paprika, or fresh herbs like basil or thyme.
  3. Use tofu scramble and dairy-free cheese for a vegan option.
  4. Don’t overbake to prevent drying out; ensure enough liquid in egg mixture.
  5. Sprinkle nuts or seeds on top for added crunch.
