Love love love the idea of these! Do you think you could just make them into little ‘haystack’ piles instead of the muffin pan? I try to avoid the non-stick coating pans.

  That may work. They just will look a little messier. Let me know how it works out 🙂

  Hi A.E.! I just tried a slight variation of these without using a muffin pan, and they turned out wonderful! They were like little quinoa-cheese cookies! 🙂

These look fabulous! Do you think that I would be able to freeze these? I am thinking they would be a great addition to my Halloween buffet for a friend on a Low Carb diet.

  Hi C.B., I have never tried to freeze these so I can’t say for sure if it would work. I think it may cause the middle to get mushy when thawed and reheated, but I could be wrong. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

Just made these tonight. Delicious and relatively easy to make. Great addition to my growing Quinoa inspired recipes. I did added some spices and made it without the muffin pan worked wonderfully.

  I have never tried freezing them. Stored in the refrigerator, I always eat them within 2-3 days. Really, they are best when fresh (like most things). Enjoy!

  Nevermind found out it makes 12 🙂 I added minced red sweet peppers onions and mushroom less than 1/4 cup each to a double batch and some onion powder garlic powder oregano parsley and basil. Also instead of 6 eggs i used 3 and 4 tablespoons of the sauce! It was sooo good 🙂 Thank you for this recipe!

Okay I just made these and the whole family liked them! I think I am going to try a breakfast version in a regular size muffin pan with some spinach and breakfast meat. Yum! I got exactly 24 mini muffins – one tray.

I found that these taste kind of like mini omelette’s, which I personally didn’t care for but my hubby loved. Now we make them for his breakfast. Make ahead, store in fridge, pop in toaster oven for 2 minutes, leave to warm thru another 2 minutes and they’re good to go. Don’t see why they wouldn’t freeze well for the same warm up procedure. We put in black olives and feta cheese, divided into 12 large muffin cups and distributed filling evenly over the additions. Short, cute and tasty!
