My husband and I enjoy quinoa, so I created this pear breakfast bake for our Sunday brunch. The quinoa is a nice change of pace from oatmeal. —Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

II made this recipe twice and the 2nd time around, I used 1 ripe pear, peeled, but not mashed.  I chopped the pear. I recall doubling the balance of ingredients except for the pear which was a large one and using an 8" baking dish, coated with non-stick cooking spray. This recipe was delicious!  I'm glad I tried this recipe! Thank you for sharing, Sue Gronholz!

I made this dish again and this time I doubled the ingredients and used a large pear, peeled and cut in small pieces, rather than mash the pear.  I was able to buy sliced almonds and put them to use and also used a 2-qt. baking dish coated with non-stick cooking spray.  I baked the dish as recipe directed! I didn't serve with yogurt, but I did have this bake for breakfast and it was delicious. Doubling the recipe for me made the dish more generous! Thank you, Sue Gronholz!

I made this exactly as written except my mashed pear equaled about 1/2 cup instead of 1/4 cup.  I would not change a thing! It was easy and delicious. I was surprised at how sweet it was, but found that the suggested plain yogurt evened that out perfectly.

I'd give it zero stars if I could.  This was an epic fail!  I thought that 1c. of water for 1/4c. quinoa was too much while I was making it.  After nearly an hour, it was a soupy mess with no easy way to repair (except get out a pot, make more quinoa to add to the liquid, then bake longer after having to re-heat my oven).

Loved this recipe! I love the flavors and using quinoa! I made it exactly as written with no issues. While it may appear too wet at first, the mixture sets up and absorbs the liquid fine. I let mine set a few extra minutes (not on purpose) and it was perfect!
