Broccoli & Cheese Quinoa Bites

All of the ingredients for these bites get thrown together into one big bowl, mixed together, and then stuffed into muffin tins to bake for a bit. EASY. I’m a huge fan :) I would be fine eating these by themselves for dinner but they would also be great as a side dish!

Ingredients

1 ½ cups - broth
¾ cup - quinoa
2 cups - broccoli
1 cup - cheddar cheese
1 cup - onion
2 cloves - garlic
½ tsp - oregano
1 tsp - salt
½ tsp - pepper
2 - eggs

Instructions

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.
Divide the quinoa mixture evenly among the 12 muffin tin cavities. Top with extra cheese if desired.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Let cool slightly and ENJOY!
