Ingredients

  • Olive-oil cooking spray Breadcrumbs, for baking dish 1 pound spinach leaves, picked and washed 2 teaspoons olive oil 1 yellow onion, peeled and diced 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced 1 tablespoon picked fresh thyme leaves 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary 1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes 2 cups cooked quinoa (about 1 cup uncooked quinoa), made according to package directions 1 cup nonfat cottage cheese 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-by-8-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with olive-oil spray. Coat with breadcrumbs; set aside.

Fill a large bowl with ice and water; set aside. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add spinach; blanch until bright green, about 10 seconds. Transfer to ice bath. When spinach is cold, remove from ice bath, squeeze out all water, and finely chop; set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan. Add onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and red-pepper flakes, and saute until translucent, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat; transfer to a medium bowl.

Add spinach, quinoa, cottage cheese, pepper, and eggs to the onion mixture, and stir until well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, and place in the oven. Bake until set and edges are brown, 60 to 70 minutes. Slice, and serve warm or at room temperature.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/19/2014   Excellent recipe with one alteration. I added goat cheese instead of farmers cheese, which made for much more flavorful dish.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/19/2013   The idea of this recipe is good, but I want to share how I tweaked it to give others a chance to try it: I followed the suggestions here and added 4 eggs instead of two. I didn't care for the cottage cheese idea, so I added extra sharp cheddar in its place. I cooked the quinoa in vegetable broth and instead of the fresh herbs (I didn't have any) I used 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning. Halfway through the cooking I topped it with a mixture of panko and parmesan. It was hit! Tasted like quiche!

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 3 stars       01/31/2012   Pretty simple! I agree with most of the reviews on here, so I spiced mine up a little. Sriracha, salt, pepper, cloves of garlic were added to the quinoa so that it had more flavor and I took the idea of another reviewer and added some parmesan cheese to the mix. I did see that the mixture was going to be a little more dry than I would prefer so I added 4 eggs instead of two. I added panko and parmesan to the top for some texture and baked it half covered with foil and half off. Delicious!
