bohoEATS...Healthy Quinoa Quiche

i made these little yummies for a great substitution for a healthier quiche!

recipe adapted from food jules

2 cups of cooked quinoa- i cooked mine in my rice cooker with low sodium chicken broth instead of water

2 large organic eggs

1 cup of shredded organic zucchini-you can leave skin on

1 cup of shredded organic cheddar cheese

1/4 c of minced organic italian parsley 

1/2 c diced organic uncured ham

2 tablespoon of a good parmesan, grated 

2 stems (green & white parts) organic green onions, minced

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

optional: add 1/2 to 1 c of organic low sodium chicken broth

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray the muffin pan with olive oil spray.  In a large bowl, whisk eggs, shredded zucchini, cheddar cheese, parsley, parmesan cheese and green onions. Stir in cooked quinoa and season with salt and pepper.  Spoon mixture into each muffin cup. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until light golden brown.

ENJOY!

Cooking every week has become a must around my house and this recipe is a healthier version of {chicken and rice}

Most mornings I do some kind of cooking... either cooking hard boiled eggs, sautéing some veggies, or making some quinoa.  I have found cooking a little everyday and building your meals through out the week works best for us.  I don't waste as much either.  Squeezing in a pot of something here and there while feeding the babies or getting ready really helps!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

4 cooked organic chicken breasts, cut in bite size cubes- I sauté in a nonstick pan with 1/4c of organic chicken stock or broth s/p

1 c organic quinoa cooked-how to cook quinoa i am laughing right now because i can hear my best girlfriend saying kwuh-NO-uh!

1/4c (or more) parmesan reggiano, grated

1/4c (or more) sharp cheddar cheese shredded, i like clothbound from Whole foods-super nutty

1 carton of low sodium organic chicken stock or broth i like

3 small organic zucchinis shredded- i use the large side of the cheese grater 

2 eggwhites and 1 whole egg

s/p to taste

mix chicken, quinoa, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, chicken stock, zucchini, and eggs all together. 
bake in shallow baking pan for 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.  Add tin foil if you prefer and remove at the beginning and then remove for last 10 minutes.

*WHY QUINOA?

Enjoy!
