These ham and cheese quinoa muffins are one of our favorite breakfasts. Quinoa is so delicious that I literally use it whenever possible! I add it to salads, instead of rice, and sometimes, if I have guests and I can’t think of what to serve as an appetizer, I make these delicious bite-sized ham and cheese quinoa muffins and serve them with sauce. Whenever someone asks me what they’re made of, they don’t believe they’re actually eating quinoa. The best thing is that you can come up with a ton of different combinations. MORE + LESS -
