This dish combines caramelized onions, gently wilted kale & the nutty flavor of quinoa with the creaminess of feta & goat cheese to create a meal that will keep you coming back for more!

Serving 4 people, 8 people
Ingredients:
| 1. | 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa |
| 2. | 1 cup water |
| 3. | 2 tablespoons olive oil |
| 4. | 1 bunch kale, stems removed & cut into ribbons |
| 5. | 1 Vidalia (sweet) onion, thinly sliced |
| 6. | 2 cloves garlic, minced |
| 7. | 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese |
| 8. | 3 ounces crumbled goat cheese |
| 9. | 4 eggs |
| 10. | Salt & black pepper, to taste |
Optional Seasonings (to taste)
| 1. | Crushed Red Pepper |
| 2. | Oregano |
| 3. | Basil |
| 4. | Sriracha |
Directions:
Prepare Oven.
Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a 9″ pie dish (either butter dish thoroughly or spray with baking spray).
Prepare Quinoa.
Rinse quinoa. Combine quinoa and water in a pot. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat & then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes. Set aside.
Cook Onions.
Meanwhile, start to caramelize the onions. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan on medium heat. Once pan is warm, add onions & slowly cook until they are soft and browned. This is where I added some crushed red pepper, oregano and basil. Remove onions from pan & place into large mixing bowl.
Prepare Kale.
Add kale into hot onion pan. On medium heat, cook until kale is wilted and bright green, about 2 minutes. Allow greens to cool. Squeeze out any extra liquid using a sieve or a clean towel.
Combine These Ingredients:
Add kale, quinoa, garlic, feta & goat cheese to the mixing bowl. Stir ingredients so they are evenly distributed.
Egg Preparation.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs so they are well combined. Pour over quinoa/kale mixture. Stir until the egg clings to the greens. Add salt & pepper.
Bake dish.
Pour the mixture in prepared pie dish (I added a little sriracha on top for a little extra flavor).
Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pie has started to pull away from edge of baking dish.
