I already had all the ingredients on hand so I got to work.
2 cups cooked quinoa
3 large eggs
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
3/4 cup chopped pepperoni slices (~1/2 of a 7 oz bag)
1/4 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup spinach, chopped
1/2 tsp seasoning salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried crushed oregano
pizza sauce for dipping
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together all ingredients, except pizza sauce, pepperoni, tomatoes and spinach in a medium mixing bowl. Split mixture into two bowls, add the pepperoni to one bowl and the tomatoes and spinach to the other. Distribute mixture into a greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup to
the top (1 heaping Tbs each), and press down gently to compact. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
I was not too sure how B would feel about the texture of the quinoa but he said they were great! They are loaded with flavour and are a much healthier option to cure that pizza craving. I like mine heated up with some pizza sauce for dipping, B likes his right out of the fridge!
Enjoy :)
