Quinoa Cheese Bites

These are like scrambled eggs to-go. You’d never guess there was quinoa hiding in here!

Directions

Yield: 12 cheese bites

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 12-cup mini muffin pan very well with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a bowl, whisk eggs, then add remaining ingredients and mix to combine. Pour into prepared muffin pan.

3. Bake for 20 minutes or until eggs are set. Let cool for a few minutes before removing from pan. These will freeze well. Warm for one to two minutes in the microwave.

Tips:

This calls for very little quinoa. Rather than cooking just the right amount, I’ll make a full cup of quinoa (which yields more than two cups) and portion the rest into zip-lock bags. I freeze the cooked quinoa and use as needed when I want a quick quinoa salad or when I want to use small quantities of quinoa in another recipe.
