It is a great way to add some extra protein and fibre too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chicken or vegetable stock<\/strong>: Used to cook the quinoa, stock adds much more flavour than just using water. Either works well, so use whichever you prefer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cheddar<\/strong>: Adds that delicious savoury, cheesy flavour. A mature cheddar works especially well if you want a stronger taste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Honeycrisp apple<\/strong>: This brings a little natural sweetness and a nice fresh bite that pairs really well with the cheddar. Another crisp sweet apple will work too if you cannot get Honeycrisp.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spring onions<\/strong>: Add a mild onion flavour that helps balance the sweetness of the apple and richness of the cheese.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt and black pepper<\/strong>: Just a little helps bring all the flavours together and seasons the bites nicely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eggs<\/strong>: These help bind everything together so the quinoa bites hold their shape once baked.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations and Substitutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few easy ways to adapt these cheddar apple quinoa bites depending on what you have on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cheese<\/strong>: Cheddar adds a lovely savoury flavour, but you can swap it for Red Leicester, mozzarella, gouda or even a little parmesan for something slightly different.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apple<\/strong>: Honeycrisp works really well for sweetness and crunch, but Pink Lady, Gala or Fuji are all good alternatives you can even omit the apple if you prefer a more savoury flavour. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spring onions<\/strong> : These can be replaced with a little finely diced red onion or chives if that is what you have. If you prefer you can soften the onion in a pan with some olive oil spray. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stock<\/strong>: You can use either chicken or vegetable stock depending on what you prefer. Vegetable stock is a great option if you want to keep these meat-free.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add extra flavour<\/strong>: A pinch of dried thyme or a little cinnamon or even some chilli flakes for additional flavour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make them extra veg-packed<\/strong>: Try adding a little grated courgette or carrot, just be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture first so the bites hold together well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Cheddar apple quinoa bites are an easy make-ahead snack or lunchbox option with the perfect balance of savoury cheddar, sweet apple and soft fluffy quinoa.\" data-pin-title=\"Cheddar Apple Quinoa Bites\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-9.jpg\" alt=\"Cheddar Apple Quinoa Bites on a oval brown grey plate with a honey sriracha dip and a white oval plate above with veggies crudites\" class=\"wp-image-46317\" title=\"Cheddar apple quinoa bites are an easy make-ahead snack or lunchbox option with the perfect balance of savoury cheddar, sweet apple and soft fluffy quinoa.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-9.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-9-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-9-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-9-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-9-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-9-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-9-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-9-560x840.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-9-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Side Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These cheddar apple quinoa bites are great just as they are, which makes them perfect for lunchboxes, light lunches and packing up for picnics. They are easy to enjoy warm or cold, so they are a really handy make-ahead option too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to serve them as more of a snack plate or light meal, they pair really well with a dip. I especially love them with my honey sriracha dip for a sweet and spicy contrast, but ranch is also a great option if you want something cool and creamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To round things out, add some crunchy veggie crudit\u00e9s on the side like carrot sticks, sliced peppers, cucumber and radish. It makes everything feel a little more colourful and fresh, while keeping it nice and simple.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-branding-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Storing and Reheating<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These cheddar apple quinoa bites store really well, which makes them perfect for meal prep or having ready for easy snacks and lunches through the week. Once cooled, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can enjoy them cold straight from the fridge, or warm them up before serving. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for a quick option, warm them in the oven until heated through, or use the air fryer for a few minutes if you want to bring back a little of that lightly crisp outside.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Cheddar apple quinoa bites are an easy make-ahead snack or lunchbox option with the perfect balance of savoury cheddar, sweet apple and soft fluffy quinoa.\" data-pin-title=\"Cheddar Apple Quinoa Bites\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-12.jpg\" alt=\"close up of Cheddar Apple Quinoa Bites on a oval brown grey plate with a honey sriracha dip\" class=\"wp-image-46318\" title=\"Cheddar apple quinoa bites are an easy make-ahead snack or lunchbox option with the perfect balance of savoury cheddar, sweet apple and soft fluffy quinoa.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-12.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-12-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-12-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-12-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-12-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-12-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-12-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-12-560x840.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/cheddar-apple-quinoa-bites-12-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Quinoa Recipes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Need some more ideas for that bag of quinoa in your pantry or cupboard?
