1

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

Wash one cup of quinoa, and cook the quinoa with two cups of water. (Bring to a boil, then simmer with lid closed). When cooked, set aside in a large bowl to cool.

3

Finely chop your aromatics and the sage.

4

Sautee the aromatics with your frozen spinach and salt, to taste, until spinach is cooked.

5

Add the spinach mix to the quinoa and stir until the spinach is evenly distributed. Add the cheese to the mixture, and transfer the mixture into a greased 9x9 baking dish.

6

Evenly pour in the beaten eggs so that the quinoa mixture absorbs it completely.

Top your dish with a generous serving of parmesan before baking for approximately 20 to 22 minutes.
