Buffalo Bites

Makes ~24 Bites

I found this little bites on pinterest this morning, realized I had all the ingredients I needed and made them right away! I was craving something tasty and fun for dinner but still healthy and these were perfect. They were spicy for me but I'm a baby when it comes to spiciness. I had 8 of them and that was more than enough for dinner!

Ingredients

1 cup heaping cooked quinoa

1 large egg

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 can of chicken (12.5 oz Costco size)

1/4 cup Franks buffalo sauce

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese ( I used a combo of feta and cheddar)

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

1 tsp minced garlic

salt and pepper to taste

Dip:

6 oz plain greek yogurt

dill, parsley, basil, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper

Directions

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.  Mix together all ingredients.

3.  Distribute mixture into a greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup halfway and press down gently to compact.

4.  Bake for 25-30 minutes.

5. Mix yogurt with spices. I did about a 1/2 tsp of each and then added more parsley, garlic powder and dill to taste.

Thanks Becky for this great recipe! I didn't have mozzarella on hand so I used half feta half cheddar and I thought they still tasted fine. Side note: never buy fat free feta, it is gross. But I was able to hide it in the Buffalo Bites :)


And for dessert? Homemade Portuguese Sweet Bread! My aunt gave me her recipe and this is the second time I have tried it. It takes all day to make and it is totally worth it but I have not even come close to making it like my aunt makes it...someday!

Hey! Who has been nibbling off that loaf??
