Quinoa for Breakfast – Ham, Cheese, and Spinach Breakfast Quinoa Cups Recipe

Jump to Recipe

I love quinoa. Since it has a lot of protein and most quinoa is gluten free, it’s a wonderful food. In addition, there are so many different ways you can use quinoa in recipes.

Therefore, I made a big batch of quinoa this morning to use in various recipes.

Ham, Cheese, and Spinach Breakfast Quinoa Cups Recipe

Ham, Cheese, and Spinach Breakfast Quinoa Cups Recipe - One Bowl Easy Recipe

This recipe for breakfast quinoa cups is so easy.  This is a one bowl recipe.  You won’t get a lot of pots and pans dirty.

These quinoa cups make a simple and healthy breakfast. I love these because the the kids can eat them on the way to school. They are also great for a breakfast on the go, or to heat up once you get to the office.

Modifications

If you’re dairy free, choose a cheese that will work for you.

If you’re vegetarian, swap the ham for extra veggies. Onion, red and orange peppers or olives would work well with the other ingredients.

The great thing about this recipe is you can make it to fit any diet. If you have kids adding bits of sausage or bacon would work well. This is also a great way to get an additional serving of vegetables for them each day. They won’t think twice about the spinach if they’re eating a muffin.
