Cheesy Quinoa Bites

Quinoa Plants in Peru.

Since you are already buying a bag of Quinoa to make Lisa's BBQ Quinoa salad (I plan on trying it this week), here is another Quinoa recipe you can try. I thought they were pretty good dipped in ranch dressing. I also added some cheddar cheese since the Parm was not quite cheesy enough for me.

Cheesy Quinoa BitesMakes ~28 bites

• 2 cups cooked quinoa
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup shredded carrot
• 2 stalks green onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

3. Distribute mixture into a greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup to the top (1 heaping Tbs each).
