Steps:
- Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then stir in the quinoa, Parmesan, herbs, pepper, green onions or garlic scapes, and mushrooms.
- Coat a medium, ovenproof skillet with a thick layer of olive oil. Place over medium high heat, add the egg mixture, and sprinkle with the olives. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes without stirring.
- Preheat the broiler with the rack in the second position from the top. Broil the frittata until the top is lightly browned and the eggs have firmed up in the center, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it rest for 3 minutes. Loosen the edges with a spatula and cut into 6 wedges. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Pour the chicken stock in a saucepan and add the parsnips. When parsnips are thoroughly cooked, remove them and reserve the stock. Add the cauliflower to the stock and cook thoroughly. Remove cauliflower and reserve the stock. Add the zucchini to the stock and cook thoroughly before removing. Heat the stock again and add the quinoa. Bring to a boil and cook about 5 minutes or until al dente. Remove the quinoa from the stock. Place all of the cooked vegetables, quinoa, diced tomato, herbs, and Roquefort in a large bowl. Mix until the cheese combines completely with the other ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a fork until whites and yolks are mixed. Add the eggs to the vegetable mixture and stir gently. Rub 1 tsp of butter on the bottom of a 10-inch non-stick ovenproof pan (or coat with a non-stick spray). Heat the pan on the stovetop. When the butter is frothy, lower the temperature to medium-low and add the frittata mixture. Cook for a few minutes and finish in the oven until done to your taste. (I like them slightly runny for the velvety texture.) Flip onto a plate by holding the plate upside down on top of the pan and flipping pan and plate together. You can brush the top of the frittata with melted butter and serve with toast.

Steps:
- 1 Preheat oven to broil. Add the olive oil and butter to the nonstick pan over medium high heat. When the butter has melted, add the leeks and cook until they begin to soften, about 2-3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for a few minutes more allowing the mushrooms to brown. Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for 2 more minutes. 2 While the vegetables are cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmigianino and quinoa in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Pour egg quinoa mixture over the vegetables and stir, allowing the egg mixture to slightly scramble. Once it is almost set, remove from heat. Broil on high for 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove from oven and slice into wedges and serve immediately. 3 Tips: - Use your leftover vegetables from dinner the night before as the filling for the frittata. - Be sure to clean the leeks well before cooking. - Use a dinner plate to flip the frittata out of the pan and then slide it back in to cook on the other side
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the quinoa. It should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
- If you're using frozen spinach, thaw it and squeeze out as much moisture as possible before adding it to the frittata.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixed batter can result in a tough, rubbery frittata.
- Cook the frittata over medium heat to prevent it from burning.
- Don't flip the frittata during cooking. This can cause it to fall apart.
- Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set.
