Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.

Bring the broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add in the quinoa, lower to a simmer and cook, covered, until all of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir every few minutes. Once done, take off of heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and then place in a large bowl to cool. You can cook the quinoa in your Instant pot using THIS method as well!

Once the quinoa is cool enough to handle, add in the broccoli, cheddar, onion, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and eggs. Mix until full combined.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pre-cook Quinoa for Texture 🍚Cook quinoa in broth instead of water and slightly undercook it by 2-3 minutes to prevent mushy bites; the residual heat and egg will finish the cooking process perfectly.
- Finely Chop Broccoli for Even Baking 🥦Cut broccoli into small, uniform pieces (roughly pea-sized) so it cooks evenly throughout the bite and distributes flavor consistently in every mouthful.
- Squeeze Excess Moisture from Broccoli 💧Lightly steam or blanch broccoli first, then press it dry with paper towels to remove excess water that would make the bites soggy and prevent proper binding with eggs.
- Use Muffin Liners and Grease Generously 🧈Line muffin tins with paper liners and coat them with oil or cooking spray; this ensures easy removal without breaking and creates a slight crispy edge from the heat.
- Let Batter Rest Before Baking ⏱️Allow the mixed batter to sit for 5 minutes before portioning into muffin tins so ingredients fully hydrate and bind together, resulting in structurally sound bites that hold together when eating.
