Categories     Side     Bake

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 6-ounce bag baby spinach
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 plump garlic cloves
4 cups cooked quinoa, (1 cup uncooked)
2 large eggs
3 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated (3/4 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
1 ounce Parmesan, grated (1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Oil a 2-quart gratin or baking dish. 2. Heat a medium frying pan or a wide saucepan over medium-high heat. Wash the spinach and without spinning dry, add to the pan and wilt in the liquid left on the leaves after washing. You may have to do this in 2 batches. As soon as the spinach wilts, remove from the heat and rinse with cold water. Squeeze dry and chop. Set aside. 3. Wipe the pan dry and heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in it over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir with the onion until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the spinach and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat. 4. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in the quinoa, the onion and spinach mixture, the Gruyère, and the sage. Add freshly ground pepper and stir the mixture together. Scrape into the gratin dish. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the top and drizzle on the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Place in the oven and bake until nicely browned on top, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat, allow to sit for about 5 minutes, and serve.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe is not for beginners. It requires a lot of chopping and measuring.

I followed the recipe exactly and my quinoa turned out mushy. I think I overcooked it.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

I'm not a fan of spinach, but I still enjoyed this dish. The cheese and spices masked the flavor of the spinach.

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to this recipe and it gave it a nice tangy flavor. I would definitely recommend trying this variation.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover quinoa. I had some cooked quinoa in the fridge, and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm glad I gave it a try. The quinoa was fluffy and the spinach and cheese were perfectly melted.
