I first found the idea to make a frittata with quinoa in Oxygen magazine. It was decent, but not nearly tasty enough for me. Still, even my husband ate it so I knew I had to do some work on the recipe and try it again. I like to make a really big dish of this so that we have leftovers. I’ve even tried freezing them and had great results. This is one of my go to quinoa breakfast recipes!
If you are new to cooking quinoa, you can use the basic recipe that I use when I make quinoa salad. (It is in the middle of the page here: quinoa cooking). I hope you enjoy!

What’s the cost to be on your mailing list?
Rachel – There is no cost! Is there something on the site that makes you think there is? The reason I as is because the site is over a year old and I’ve never had the question before yesterday but you are the second person who has asked! Wendy
Could we get nutrition info for those of us on Weight Watchers? Would be greatly appreciated!
Can this recipe be cut in half with good results? I am single.
Thanks.
Yes, that should be no problem. Most people don't realize it but dishes like this actually freeze quite well. So, you may want to make the dish and then freeze it in individual portions. Hope this helps, Wendy
To print just the recipe and directions my son told me this: Highlight the part you want and put it in a Text Edit / Word document/ Notepad. Then label and print. Then I can add multiple recipes on my Text Edit/ Notepad. Most computers have a 'notepad' on the desktop. Happy Health to you !
To print without all the other stuff…
Highlight the whole recipe, right click, and then click copy. Open Microsoft word, or works whichever you have, click on the page so the cursor is there. Right click so you see the list of choices and then click Paste. Your recipe should be there for you. Once here, you can print it out, and / or save it to your files. =3
By some small chance that you don't have a word processor on your computer, you can do the same in your email. That saves time if you are planning on sending the recipe to someone else, You can always copy to yourself and keep it there for later use, or print it out. Remember to save trees. Print only what you need.
I'll try to help with printing… You have to highlight the recipe only. Right click on the highlighted area and choose Print…
When the dialog box opens, under print range choose "selection" and click print. You can also start print dialog box from file menu.
OK
how can I print a recipe off your website without printing all 8 pages ? I tried to print two different recipes and it printed everything I was looking at. I couldn't figure out a way to just print the recipe. I am new to cooking quinoa and so many of the recipes looked like something I would like to try. Thanks for any help you can provide. Barbara
Barbara — You are not the first person to ask this. I am a bit challenged when it comes to technology but I am looking for a solution. I am also in the process of putting together a free cookbook that will have the top recipes from the site. That will be available in the next two weeks. Wendy
Go to print preview before you actually choose print. Then arrow through the pages until you find the page with the recipe on it. Use that page number instead of printing "all". In this case the frittata recipe was on page 2.
I am also tecnologically- challenged, but when I went to print the recipe I selected (highlighted) just the recipe. Then I went to Print Preview and asked it to print just the selected portion. That worked for me.
Is there a way to get nutritional information on these?
So, the amount of quinoa is not listed in this recipe
Sally – Sorry about that! It is corrected now!
This recipe sounds wonderful but it doesn't show the amount of Quinoa in it… Is it cooked before or added raw to the eggs?
Deedee – It is corrected now! The quinoa is cooked before you add it.
