Instructions
Cook the quinoa according to package instructions then set aside to cool. Preheat oven to 325 F. Generously spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients except the salsa. Stir together to mix well.
Divide the mixture among 12 muffin cavities, filling each cavity 3/4 of the way full.
To each cavity, add 1-2 tbsp salsa stirring the salsa into the egg/quinoa mixture to disperse.
Bake the quinoa egg muffins 20-25 minutes until edges are slightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before enjoying!

Notes
Rinse the quinoa before cooking it to remove some of the bitter flavor.
Use a thin salsa so it stays near the top of the bites instead of sinking to the bottom.
Spray well or use cupcake liners to make sure your quinoa cups lift out of the muffin tins easily.
Reheat leftovers in the microwave for 30 seconds. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days or store in the freezer up to 30 days.
