Preheat oven to 350ºF and grease a 2-quart casserole
dish with a light coating of olive oil.
Bring water to a boil on the stove, then add the
quinoa. Cook until all the liquid is absorbed.
Meanwhile, sauté the onion over medium heat until
it's translucent, then add the sweet pepper and other
vegetables. Cook until tender.
In a mixing bowl, combine the vegetables with the
cooked quinoa, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add the milk, beaten egg and shredded cheese. Stir to
combine, and then pour into your prepared baking dish.
Bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, or until
