Quinoa Breakfast Cups

My boyfriend is a huge fan of these quinoa breakfast cups! They aren’t only good in the morning either – they can easily be enjoyed as an appetizer or with a nice hot soup!

You will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 green onions
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup bacon bits
  • Optional: zucchini, parsley, peppers, mushrooms…anything really!

Makes 12 cups

Cook quinoa according to instructions on your bag. Mine asked for a 1:2 quinoa:water ratio. Bring water to boil on stovetop, add quinoa and bring back to boil, reduce heat to medium and cover for 12 minutes. Fluff with fork and let cool a bit!

Preheat oven at 350 F. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, adding cooked quinoa last.

Separate into greased cups, bake 20-25 minutes! Should be slightly brown on the edges.
