Broccoli Cheddar Quinoa Bites

Last summer, I tried and shared a recipe for Quinoa Pizza Bites. My sister brought me some cooked quinoa and I wanted to make some, but didn't have the right ingredients on hand, so I decided to try my hand at a cheesy broccoli version instead. The results were delicious! This recipe makes approximately 36 "bites" which I assume freeze well. (I just found some of the pizza bites in the back of my freezer from August, and they held up great!) It takes about 5-10 minutes of preparation and 15-20 minutes of baking time.

What You'll Need:

• 2 Cups cooked Quinoa
• 2 Cups chopped fresh broccoli florets (I imagine frozen would do in a pinch)
• 2 Cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1 tsp ground mustard
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp of your favorite all-purpose seasoning

What You'll Do:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
• Prepare a mini-muffin tin by spraying with cooking spray, greasing in your chosen manner, or filling with mini-muffin papers. (I used cooking spray.)
• Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
• Spoon mixture into mini-muffin pan (heaping tablespoon) and press down lightly with the back of the tablespoon.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes.
• Allow to cool on wire racks.
• Enjoy!
