Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked quinoa

- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers mix of colors recommended
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach fresh or drained frozen
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or feta

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, eggs, bell peppers, spinach, cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Grease a muffin tin lightly with cooking spray.
Pour the mixture evenly into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until muffins are set and golden brown.
Cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm or store for later.
