Crustless Quinoa Quiche
We already know that Spinach and cheese are a match made in heaven. But It turns out that the combination is even better when you transform it into a puffy and golden brown quiche staring cooked GOYA® Organic Quinoa. Two full cups of the protein-rich quinoa add volume and texture to the quiche – so a bready crust would be overkill – yet tastes unexpectedly moist and light. This Crustless Quinoa Quiche is perfect for a hearty breakfast, a simple lunch and even a satisfying dinner when served with a side salad.
