  • 14 ounce artichoke hearts, jarred
  • 4 ounce spinach, frozen
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  • Cook quinoa according to package directions.

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between the cups of the mini muffin tin, and press down to pack it in firmly.
