- 6 large eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 large red bell pepper diced
- 12 oz broccolini or broccoli finely chopped

Preheat the oven to 350F and spray a baking dish with cooking oil spray.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs together with the milk, seasonings, and parsley.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, bell pepper, broccolini, and cheese.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish, taking care not to mess around the edges too much. (That is if you care about the looks of your casserole.)
Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes or until the egg is cooked through and broccolini is tender.
