There are a couple of things blogging has re-sparked my passion for and cooking and baking is one of them. Yep, being a blogger means you grab some great ideas flying around the net like this one I found over at Iowa Girl Eats for these yummy healthy cheesy ham quinoa cups.
Mini ham and cheese quinoa cups
Ingredients:
+ 2 cups cooked quinoa (about 1 cup uncooked, and cook the same as you would rice)
+ 2 eggs
+ 2 egg whites
+ 1 cup zucchini, shredded
+ 1 cup carrot, grated
+ 1 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
+ 1/2 cup diced ham or bacon
+ 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
+ 2 Tablespoons parmesan cheese
+ 2 green onions, sliced
+ salt & pepper
Directions:
+ Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
+ Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix to combine.
+ Liberally spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray and spoon mixture to the top of each cup.
+ Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the cups are golden brown.
+ Let cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the muffin tin.
+ Enjoy any time of the day!
