Tap a step to mark it done.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Combine the cooked quinoa and beaten egg; press into a lightly oiled 9-inch pie plate to form the crust. Bake 10 minutes.
- Whisk the eggs and milk, then mix in the feta, spinach, tomatoes, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the filling over the crust and bake 20 minutes more, until the eggs are firm and cooked through.
Note. Add chopped vegetables and fresh herbs as desired: onion, bell pepper, broccoli, and basil are tasty choices. Dried herbs work too: 1 tsp dried per 1 Tbsp fresh.
Ingredient tip. When a recipe uses a packaged or processed food, choose a version with five or fewer ingredients on the label.
