These are quick and easy to make, making them ideal for a weeknight or any time really. Understandably so, these are also super delicious and little addictive!

Broccoli Cheddar Quinoa Bites 
Ingredients: 
¾ cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed 
1½ cups water (or vegetable broth or chicken broth) 
2 eggs, lightly beaten 
2 cups broccoli florets, finely diced 
1 cup yellow onion, finely diced 
1 garlic clove, finely minced 
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese 
½ teaspoon paprika 
Crushed red pepper (optional) to taste

Directions: 
In a medium sauce pan, combine quinoa and water (or broth) and cook according to package directions. Let cool.
In a large bowl, combine cooled quinoa, eggs, broccoli, onion, garlic, cheese and paprika.
Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray mini-muffin tins with cooking spray.
Put a heaping tablespoonful of quinoa mixture into prepared muffin cups. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until edges turn golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes and then gently remove from pan to cool completely. Makes: 12 bites 
Enjoy!

Take Care

Since I'm the only one who likes quinoa I never get a chance to cook with it anymore, so it's been quite a few years. But maybe just maybe they would give this recipie a try.
