For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of garlic powder to the quinoa while it's cooking. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Monterey Jack, to create your own unique flavor profile. To elevate the presentation, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a dollop of Greek yogurt before serving.
