Spinach Artichoke Quinoa Casserole

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time35 minutes
Total Time45 minutes
Servings: 5 -6

Ingredients

  • 3 cups quinoa cooked (approx. 1 cup dry quinoa)
  • 10 ounces frozen spinach defrosted
  • 2 cups marinated artichoke hearts chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup Italian blend cheese + a few tablespoons for topping
  • 1/4 cup pepper jack cheese
  • 2 medium size eggs
  • 6 ounces plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F then prepare a large casserole dish (I used a 1 quart dish) by greasing with Earth Balance, butter or non-stick cooking spray.
  • Warm the olive oil over medium heat in a sauté pan and cook the shallot and garlic for a few minutes, until fragrant.
  • Using a strainer and a paper towel, press the excess water out from the defrosted spinach then add it to the pan. Add the chopped artichoke hearts (I discarded any tough parts) and a pinch of salt & pepper to the pan and cook for five minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the eggs, yogurt and cheese in a large bowl and whisk together until well-combined.
  • Remove the spinach artichoke mixture from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes before adding to the bowl with the eggs and cheese.
  • Lastly, add the cooked quinoa and stir until everything is mixed together well.
  • Place the mixture into the casserole dish, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of cheese on top and cook for 30-35 minutes, until top is light golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!
