Breakfast Quinoa Egg Cups For A Day Of Energy

I discovered this new recipe for my family this past weekend.  We are always rushing out of the house in the morning with no time for a good meal.  Here is a great make ahead recipe that should be good in your fridge for days.  Its a hit from the kids to my husband alike!  Hallelujah!  Hope this leads to great breakfasts in your home!

Ingredients 

·       2 cups cooked quinoa (about 3/4 cup uncooked)

·       6 egg whites

·       1 zucchini, shredded

·       1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

·       1/2 cup green peppers

·       1/4 cup parsley, chopped

·       2 Tablespoons parmesan cheese

·       2 green onions diced

·       salt & pepper  

Instructions  

·       Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix to combine. Liberally spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray and spoon mixture to the top of each cup. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the cups are golden brown. Do not under bake or they won't come out of the pan. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the mini muffin tin. 

Remeber make these with veggies your family loves!  Replace it with mushrooms, cilantro, etc and play around with your favorites!  Enjoy!
