Ingredients
Scale
- About 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, chopped or crumbled (I used pre-cooked organic chipotle chicken sausage)
- 1/2 cup chopped, peeled apple
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 – 2 cloves garlic, peeled & chopped fine
- 2.5 oz. shredded cheese of choice (I used a mix of asiago, sharp cheddar and swiss)
- 1/2 – 1 teaspoon Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute (or to taste) … or your favorite no-salt seasoning
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 eggs, whisked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together the quinoa, sausage, apple, onion, cheese, garlic, cheese and seasonings until well mixed. Taste and add more seasonings if desired.
- Pour the eggs over and stir to mix them in as well. Use a spoon to divide the mixture amongst 18 mini muffin spots, pressing down with the spoon to compress the mixture together.
- Bake at 350 F. for 15 – 18 minutes or until the quinoa bites are set. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Use a butter knife to gently lift the bites out of the muffin tin.
