Another goody from The Forest Feast cookbook. This was the most surprising recipe I’ve tasted from this cookbook.

And, let me tell you how easy it is!! Grated or chop a couple of items, mix with eggs, and bake … voila! Breakfast for a group in no time flat.

I make this and reheat the muffins as I need them (read: I make these and save them in the fridge to reheat for my kids breakfasts).

I adapted this recipe to fit the tastes of my family. I’ve added some suggestions below an alternates if the recipe below isn’t perfect for you.

Also, feel free to use this as a starting off point. You can take out and replace the veggies and cheese as you see fit. The correct answer is the one that works best for you.

How to cook quinoa:

I often use my rice cooker to make quinoa. It’s the easiest and most hands off way to get a fluffy finish.

With any quinoa recipe, the quinoa needs to be heavily rinsed with cold water. From there my family and I all prefer if the quinoa is made with either vegetable or chicken broth in lieu of straight water. This gives the quinoa a lot more flavour.

The steps for cooking quinoa on the stove are pretty straight forward. Quinoa plus water and around 15-18 minutes with the lid on.

Be sure to fluff the quinoa with a fork as soon as it’s finished cooking. This helps keep the light and fluffy texture.
