This Recipe is really super simple and highly adaptable. You combine cooked quinoa with your favorite cheese and veggies and a few eggs (to bind it all), drop tablespoons of the mixture into in a mini muffin pan and bake. And then, cross your fingers, take a bite and hope you now like quinoa so you didn’t just waste all that time chopping and shredding.

Cheesy Quinoa Bites
adapted from So Very Blessed
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Stir all of the ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined. Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to divide the mixture evenly among the wells of the pan – you can fill them all the way to the top. Lightly press down to make sure each well is packed.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the bites are golden and set. Remove from the wells and serve, with dipping sauce if desired.
Makes 24 bites.
