Egg quinoa bake

Hands down one of my best Pinterest finds thanks to whole foods market! This recipe is easy to make but takes a while to cook. 6 healthy servings so make ahead on Sunday for a weeks worth of breakfast!

Preheat oven for 350 and prep an 8x8 dish with butter or Pam.

Whisk 8 eggs with 1 1/4 c milk and add 1 TBS fresh chopped garlic, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper each. You can add any other seasoning you'd like at this point as well.

I like to pour my 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa directly in prepped dish first then pour egg mixture over the top. The quinoa will settle at the bottom and form a crust and some will float into egg mixture and fluff up even more! Top the eggs with 2 cups torn fresh spinach. Some will mix into eggs and some will slightly crisp up! Cover with foil and bake for 45 mins. Uncover and top with 1 cup of cheese of your choice. Put back in the oven uncovered and bake another 10 minutes. I cut mine in half one way and in thirds the other for six servings. We like to top our with tapatio hot sauce, a staple at our house! 18 grams of protein will start your day off right! Let me know what you think, enjoy!
