INGREDIENTS
½ cup cooked quinoa (~92g)
2 large eggs (~100g total)
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (~28g)
¼ cup low-fat cottage cheese (~60g)
1 cup chopped broccoli (~91g)
1 tsp olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, beaten eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, and low-fat cottage cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Using a spoon, form the mixture into small bite-sized rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press them slightly to create a compact shape.
Bake the quinoa bites in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until they are set and lightly golden on top.
Meanwhile, toss the chopped broccoli in a small bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the broccoli on another baking sheet and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Once both the quinoa bites and roasted broccoli are done, serve them together. Enjoy warm for a delicious, balanced meal!
