Very Veggie Pesach 2012: Spinach-Cheese-Quinoa Fritatta

I recently found a great recipe for a fritatta with spinach, cheese and grits. Most of it was easily adapted for Passover: eggs, cheese and fresh vegetables. The only problem was the grits (they're a corn product), but it occurred to me that quinoa would make a good substitute for grits.  Of course, as I've said before , there is some dispute as to whether quinoa is kosher for Passover. If you don't accept quinoa, that's OK: a frittata is essentially an omlette casserole, and it doesn't really need the grits or quinoa. you can just add more eggs and cheese, or some other vegetable. This recipe is not vegan (includes eggs and cheese), but it is gluten-free and non-gebrochts. Ingredients: about 1/4 cup Parmesan or Romano cheese 1 cup quinoa 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil 2 or 3 cloves garlic, pressed 6 oz fresh chopped spinach 1 cup fresh chopped parsley 4 oz cheddar cheese, grated 3 large eggs, beaten salt and pepper to taste Kashrut Notes: Cheese r
