Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups vegetable broth or water

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 large egg

1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (for topping)

Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth (or water). Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and chopped spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts down (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.

        Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, sautéed spinach mixture, crumbled feta, egg, milk, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

          Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9x9-inch (or similarly sized) baking dish with olive oil. Pour the quinoa mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.

            Add Toppings: Arrange halved cherry tomatoes evenly on top of the quinoa mixture.

              Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the bake is set.

                Cool and Serve: Once done, remove from oven and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm as a hearty main dish or a delicious side.
