Liked this recipe so much that we're even considering it for next year's 4-H Food Show competitons for one of the boys... It's low in calories; about 130 calories for a serving of 4 bites - think I ate 2 servings on Super Bowl night! They were THAT good!
Cheesy Quinoa Bites
2 cups cooked quinoa
2 large eggs
1 cup shredded carrot
2 stalks green onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbs all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp seasoning salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the quinoa to the package instructions (I used 3/4 cup of quinoa to 1 1/2 of water w/a chicken bullion cube - bring to a boil and cooked for 12-15 minutes). Mix together quinoa, carrot, egg, green onion, garlic, cilantro, cheese, flour, salt and pepper. Distribute mixture into a greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup to the top (1 heaping Tbs each). Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Hope this post finds you well and everything is good! Please come back often! Remember to hug the ones you love the most - until next time...
