Prepare these early in the week for a healthy grab-and-go breakfast every morning!Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked and cooled quinoa (or grain of choice)
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cook quinoa according to package instructions. Once cooked, allow to cool.
- In a medium non-stick pan, heat olive oil over a medium heat. Add leek and butternut squash and sauté for 10 minutes or until mixture begins to soften. Add parsley, season with pepper and mix well. Once cooked, allow to cool slightly.
- Whisk eggs in a large bowl, then add cooled squash mixture, feta cheese, pumpkin seeds, cooked quinoa and mix well.
