Method

Warm a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet. Add the minced onion and garlic. Stir until they are translucent.
Add the chopped spinach to the pan. Cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until light and airy. Stir in the cooked quinoa, sautéed greens, and spices.
Pour the mixture into a greased rectangular baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until the center is set and the edges are just beginning to turn a pale golden brown.
Once the egg sheet has cooled, cut it into squares that fit your bread. Place a square on each bun, add a slice of cheese, and close the sandwich.
Wrap each sandwich tightly in parchment paper or foil. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days or freeze for up to three months.
