These little muffins can be a meal all by themselves. Ivan and I like to pack them in our lunch cooler for airplane flights. You could serve them at any party and be proud!
Author: Beth Misner
Recipe type: Phase 3
Cuisine: Snack
Serves: 18 muffins
Ingredients
  • 2 cups of cooked rainbow quinoa
  • 6 egg whites
  • 1 cup grated raw goat milk cheddar cheese
  • ½ medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • ¼ tsp. Real Salt sea salt
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Line 18-muffin tin with unbleached paper muffin cups
  3. Simmer 1 cup of rainbow quinoa (or any quinoa) in 2 cups of water just until soft, the cooked quinoa will expand as it absorbs the cooking water
  4. While quinoa is cooking, saute ½ cup of chopped onions and 2 cloves of chopped garlic until translucent, set aside to allow to cool
  5. Remove cooked quinoa from the heat, drain and set aside to allow to cool
  6. In a separate large bowl whisk 6 egg whites with a fork
  7. Add 1 cup of grated raw goat milk cheddar cheese (or other goat cheese of your choice)
  8. Add the sauteed onions and garlic to the eggs and cheese
  9. Add Real Salt sea salt to taste (about ¼ tsp) and 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  10. To the egg mixture, add 2 cups of the cooled quinoa and stir gently until all the ingredients are mixed.
  11. Spoon into paper-lined muffin tin cups to the tops and cook at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes until lightly browned on top.
  12. Serve hot.
  13. Optional: you may add chopped tomatoes and lightly steamed spinach leaves to the sauteed onions and garlic for a delicious twist.

    These are fantastic! I added red bell peppers and spinach. You could add different vegetables each time to make them entirely different.
    I’ll be returning to this one over and over!
    Thanks!

    Quick question: Can you add tomatoes if you are in Phase 2?

    • Beth Misner March 27, 2014 at 12:51 am Reply

      Hi, Kristin. Tomatoes will be added in Phase 3, so for now (you are in Phase 2) you can add broccolini or even spinach to boost the flavor profile of the Cheesy Quinoa Muffins. Enjoy them!
