Gluten-Free Quinoa Pizza Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked quinoa (prepared in 2 cups water and cooked until tender)

• 2 eggs

• 2 scallions, finely chopped

• 1 cup ricotta cheese

• 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

• Fresh basil, chopped

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

How to Make Them

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, eggs, scallions, ricotta cheese, feta cheese, basil, salt, paprika, red bell pepper, and olives. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.

Lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan.
