What a great opportunity to practice our cooking skills while in Quarantine! Tonight we made a “Baked Pepper Jack Quinoa Skillet.” It was beyond delicious and super easy to make — only 6 ingredients and took around 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 oz. Pepper Jack cheese
- 1 c. quinoa
- 8 oz. broccoli florets
- 4 c. baby spinach
- 1/2 c. light sour cream
- 3 garlic cloves
Recipe
- Shred 4 ounces Pepper Jack cheese. Set aside.
- In covered 5-quart sauce-pot, heat 1 cup quinoa and 4 cups water to boiling on high. Cook as label directs, but add 8 ounces broccoli florets to the pot 5 minutes before draining quinoa.
- Drain quinoa mixture well. Then, toss with 4 cups baby spinach, 1/2 cup light sour cream, 3 cloves garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Spread in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese. Broil on high 3 minutes or until melted.
