Cheddar Quinoa Bites
Servings: 24
Ingredients
- ¾ cup quinoa
- 1 ½ cup water
- 2 cups broccoli
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 eggs
- 1 T Dijon mustard
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- cayenne to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven; cook the quinoa; cook the broccoli – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bring 3/4 cup of quinoa and 1 1/2 water to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until tender and the water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Let cool. Steam the broccoli until soft and chop into small pieces. Let cool.
- Mix and shape – Beat the 2 eggs with 1 T Dijon mustard to emulsify. Combine the quinoa and the egg mixture with the remaining ingredients. Spoon into cupcake liners in mini muffin pans.
- Bake – Bake until lightly golden brown on top, about 25 minutes.
Notes
These are good with a honey dijon sauce for dipping. I’ve used broccoli in this recipe, but of course you could substitute with any other veg or type of mushrooms, in any combination to your liking.
