Quinoa Bites


2 cups broth or water
1 cup quinoa, uncooked
2 eggs
½ cup chopped onion
1 cup mozzarella, shredded
2 tsp. garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. basil
2 tsp. oregano
Spaghetti sauce for dipping*

Bring broth or water to a boil in small saucepan.  Add Quinoa and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa is tender and water is absorbed.

Preheat oven to 350°.  Combine all ingredients except pizza sauce in mixing bowl (if quinoa was cooked with water, add ¼ tsp. salt).

Spray 12-count muffin tin.  Fill tin with 1/4 cup of batter and bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until golden brown.  Dip in spaghetti sauce.

*My favorite spaghetti sauce is my homemade recipe HERE.

*You can also mix in your favorite pizza toppings when combining all ingredients - diced pepperoni or ham, peppers, olives, mushrooms, browned ground sausage, pineapple, etc.
