****Here is my recipe****
QUINOA BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
Breakfast casserole in which the cooked quinoa serves as the crust. Made with free range organic eggs. Recipe used a norwegian style cheese, but any cheese can be substituted. Reheats well for several meals.
Crust:
Quinoa, 2 cup cooked (cook according to package)
100% Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs (Seasoned), 0.25 Cup
Salted Sweet Cream Butter, 0.5 tbsp (14g)
Canola Oil Cooking Spray
Casserole Filling:
9 Medium Organic Free Range Eggs (can use regular non organic eggs as well)
Bergenost Norwegian Style Cheese, 2 ounce (grated)
Spinach - Raw, 0.25 cup (cut into strips)
Pepper and Onion Mix (Frozen), 0.5 cup
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8X12 casserole baking dish with Canola Oil cooking spray (thin coat).
Melt down 1/2 tbs. of sweet cream butter. In bowl mix the 2 cups of cooked quinoa (cook according to package), 1/4 cup of seasoned bread crumbs, and melted butter. Mix. Pour mix into the baking dish and spread evenly with a spoon. Push mix up sides of dish as well. Bake for 10 minutes in oven and then remove.
Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Place frozen peppers and onion mix in non-stick pan and saute over med heat for two minutes. Then add spinach and cook for another minute. Stir at least twice.
Add veggie mix to whisked eggs. Add salt and pepper. Additional spices can be added if desired (parsely, pepper blend, paprika, etc.). Mix well.
Put half of the cheese on top of the baked crust. Pour egg mixture over. Then add other half of cheese on top of eggs.
Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees. Mix will puff up while in the oven, but will settle when removed. Let casserole sit for 5 to 8 minutes. Cut into 8 bars and enjoy.
This makes a great on-the-go breakfast meal because the quinoa and eggs hold a "bar" shaped really well.
