AuthoradminAre you ready to try a unique and fun new recipe? I sure hope so! I love breakfast casseroles for many reasons. The top two reasons are they are at the ready for grab & go breakfasts and they taste amazing! I have been doing a lot of baked oatmeal lately and I thought it would be fun to mix things up with quinoa. Quinoa is a favorite ingredient for lots of you these days, so I figured it was time to make a breakfast recipe with it! This is a sweet mixture of black quinoa, sweet potatoes, dried fruit, eggs, coconut milk and spices.
Do you ever have quinoa for breakfast? If not you must...
Rinse quinoa under cold water. Combine quinoa, coconut milk, salt, spices and dried fruit. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 25-30 minutes until all the liquid has evaporated and the quinoa is creamy. Remove from the heat, transfer to a mixing bowl and mix in mashed sweet potato and eggs. Stir in 1/2 cup of water to the mixture before baking, it should be a bit runny.
Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F with the rack in the middle. Spray a oven safe pie dish or 9X9 casserole dish with baking spray. Add mixture to baking dish. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the eggs and casserole are set and not jiggly.
I like mashed sweet potatoes not puréed canned ones in this recipes. The chunks are nice for texture and flavor.
