Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a blender or food processor, pulse the chopped broccoli and grated carrot until they are finely chopped but not pureed.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs lightly.
• Add the cooked quinoa, shredded cheddar cheese, the processed broccoli and carrot, and 1/2 teaspoon salt (or omit the salt if serving young children) to the eggs.
• Stir the mixture until all ingredients are evenly combined.
• Lightly grease two mini muffin tins or spray them with cooking spray. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, divide the mixture evenly among the mini muffin cups. Press each portion down firmly so the bites hold together.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops and edges are lightly browned.
• Let the quinoa bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then remove and serve.
