This can make a great breakfast or even dinner meal and is really easy to prepare. It is full of protein to help keep you full for a long time and you can add even more veggies if you have them on hand. It can be cooked and stored in the refrigerator for later, so Is great to prepare the night before for a healthy breakfast on a busy morning. Enjoy!







Ingredients:
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
8 eggs
1 1/4  cup milk
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon chopped thyme
1/2  teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 cups packed baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 cup finely shredded Romano or Parmesan cheese

Instructions:
1)      Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease an 8-inch glass or metal baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.

2)      Put quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse/drain well.

3)      In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and quinoa. Stir in spinach then pour mixture into prepared dish.

4)      Cover tightly with foil then jiggle dish gently from side to side so that the quinoa settles on the bottom in an even layer.
