Mackerel, Broccoli & Quinoa Bites

Mackerel is the star of these little bites but they work equally well with tinned tuna or salmon. Full of healthy fats to help little brains grow and a great source of protein too!

Ingredients

• 150g pre-cooked brown rice/quinoa (we use a pouch but you could also cook your own grains)
• 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
• 1 heaped tbsp cream cheese
• 2 eggs
• 120g tin of mackerel (alternatively use tinned tuna or salmon)
• 1/2 cup cooked broccoli
• 1 cup grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese

Method

Makes 12 cupcake size bites.
1. Finely dice the cooked broccoli.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the grains, your cheese of choice, the mackerel & broccoli together.
3. In a separate bowl beat the eggs and stir through the cream cheese & mustard.
4. Combine the wet ingredients with the grain/mackerel mixture.
5. Spoon into a silicone cupcake tray.
6. Bake at 180 degrees for 18 minutes, or until the top is set and golden brown.
7. Leave to cool and then gently remove from the silicone casings.
8. Delicious cold, or alternatively warm for 30 seconds in the microwave before serving.
9. Store in the fridge for 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
