Gratin is any sweet or unsweetened dish baked in the oven until an appetizing crust forms. I present to you a quinoa gratin with cheese, olives, spinach and chicken. The casserole turns out rich and juicy.
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and boil according to the instructions on the package. Cool.
Finely chop the red onion and cut the boiled chicken meat into medium pieces. Grate the cheese on a fine grater.
Beat the eggs with salt.
Add quinoa, red onion, chicken, half of the cheese and mix thoroughly.
Spinach (I had frozen, you can use fresh) defrost and squeeze. Finely chop half of the olives together with spinach and half of the dough, add to the mass with quinoa. Stir, try to add salt and pepper, if necessary – add salt and pepper.
Grease the baking dish (I have 28 * 19) with vegetable oil and put the minced meat, pressing it tightly to the bottom.
Put in a preheated (t = 180 C) oven for 20 minutes.
Finely chop the onion and fry in olive oil.
Cut the remaining olives into rings.
After 20 minutes of baking, take out the casserole dish and sprinkle with the remaining pine nuts, lay out the rings of olives, distribute the fried onions.
Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Increase the temperature in the oven to 200 C, lay out the mold and bake for another 10 minutes, until golden brown.
