Muffin tin madness!
Yes, here's ANOTHER recipe using the muffin tin. I am hooked on all the ideas out there; what comes out of them is the perfect size for work lunches, a quick snack, or to have with a salad for dinner. *Use the mini-size for this recipe.*
So last week, during a wild thunder/lightning/sideways rain storm, Mum and I were on a cooking spree. We had quinoa and curiosity at hand, so these little treats were our next item on the agenda. 
Here's what you need:
1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 large eggs
1 cup chopped green onions
1 cup shredded cheese
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons dried basil
1 full-size pepperoni stick, cut into approx 1/2" pieces
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Prepare your quinoa: 2 cups of water to the one cup of grains, in a covered pot, brought to a boil. Then simmer for 20 minutes or until quinoa is ready. Preheat your oven to 350.
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Once well combined, evenly distribute your gooey goodness into a greased *use lots to prevent sticking* tin. Fill each cup right to the top (it's pretty close to the amount of one heaping tablespoon in each.)
Press down gently to compact.
Bake for 15-18 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
Two minutes after we pulled these from the oven we lost power in our neighborhood for almost 2 and a half hours. Thanks for the good timing, Mother Nature! Our "pizzas" were not ruined.
Serve hot with a side of pizza sauce for dippin'.
Now, would I make these again? Um....I'd give it a solid...Maybe? I enjoyed them, but I didn't love them. I kinda force myself to eat quinoa anyhow, so that could be the problem. If this was normal, gorgeous, gluten-filled pizza dough? That would be another story. (An I-gained-50-pounds story...) Ha!
Get cooking,
Stace.
