Like many of you, I’m constantly on the go. And by constantly on the go, I mean my multi-tasking abilities are that of an Olympic level one man band. I get myself into trouble when I haven’t had a decent breakfast. I need something that will fuel my body and my brain all through the morning. It needs to be a flexible recipe so that no matter what is left over in my fridge, I can easily throw together a batch. Easily replace the ham in this recipe with the same amount of chopped veggies.
Ham & Cheddar Quinoa Bites pack the protein punch I need to keep me satisfied all morning long. They taste GOOD!

- 1 garlic cloves (finely minced)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
In a medium sauce pan, combine quinoa and water (or broth) and cook according to the quinoa package directions and let cool.
In a large bowl, combine cooled quinoa, eggs, ham, onion, garlic, cheese and spices.
Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray mini-muffin tins with cooking spray.
