Good Pair Days -
  • Veg oil for greasing
  • 180g quinoa, rinsed and drained
  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 6 spring onions, chopped
  • 6 tomatoes, chopped
  • 120g mature cheddar, grated
  • 120g wafer-thin ham, shredded
  • 1 tsp mustard powder
  • 1⁄2 tsp salt
  • Black pepper
  • Preheat the oven to 200C. Lightly grease a 12-hole muffin tin. Pop the quinoa in a saucepan, add 540ml cold water, and bring to the boil. Stir well and simmer for 20 mins, or until the quinoa is tender. Tip into a sieve and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process, and squeeze out any excess water.
  • Beat together the eggs, vegetables, cheese, and ham. Stir in the quinoa and mustard, and season well. Divide the mixture into the 12 muffin holes and bake for 20 minutes until golden. Enjoy as part of a picnic or al fresco lunch!
