Ingredients
- 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 medium sweet onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata or black olives, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place 12 silicone muffin cups on a baking sheet, then set aside until ready to use.
- Combine quinoa and water in a medium saucepan and set pan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat to a simmer, cover and cook for about15 minutes, or until quinoa is cooked and water has been absorbed.
- While quinoa is cooking, chop onion, tomatoes and olives, then set aside. Next, heat a skillet over medium heat; add oil and onions, and saute for 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, olives and Italian seasoning to onion mixture, and saute for another minute. Turn off heat, and set mixture aside.
- Place eggs in a medium mixing bowl, and mix with a whisk or hand beater until well-combined. Add cooked quinoa, vegetable mixture, cheese and salt to eggs, then stir to combine.
- Pour mixture into silicone muffin cups, dividing equally, and bake in oven for 30 minutes, or until eggs have set and muffins are a light golden brown. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Egg muffins can be kept in the refrigerator and eaten cold or reheated in the microwave.
