Recipe Notes

• Use whatever cheese you like. Some good options for this crustless quiche recipe are Swiss, muenster, gruyere, cheddar and fontina.

• You could use kale instead of spinach and cooked bacon or prosciutto instead of the ham.

• If you don't have herbes de provence, try Mediterranean seasoning, dried Italian seasoning or Greek seasoning.

Here's how to make it: 

1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Add the onion and cook until it begins to caramelize, about 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the ham and spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. 
2. Mix together the cooked quinoa, eggs, shredded cheese, sour cream, garlic, herbes de provence and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Add to the cooled onion and spinach mixture. 
3. Pour the filling into a greased round casserole dish or deep dish pie plate. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 30 minutes or until eggs are set. Top with shredded Parmesan cheese right at the end of baking. Let the quiche rest for about 5 minutes before cutting.
