A baked crispy quinoa, spinach and cheese shell filled with egg and topped with cheese. These tasty cups have approximately 11 grams of protein each, they freeze surprisingly well and can be picked up and eaten out of your hand like a muffin.

Author's Notes

Dampen fingers with water when pressing quinoa into muffin tin, it will help prevent quinoa sticking too much to your fingers. Quinoa cups can be wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen. Allow to thaw completely prior to reheating in microwave - eggs will be slightly more cooked but just as tasty and makes for a portable, convenient breakfast or snack.
