- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 roasted green onions

- Pre-heat oven to 350F
- While quinoa is cooking add all ingredients except for egg in large bowl. Add 1.5 cups HOT quinoa to the mix (so right after you finish cooking it so cheese will melt) and combine well. Add in 1 egg and mix till just combined.

Notes
I know most people would have done blue cheese or goat cheese with buffalo sauce, but to me, there isn't anything better than spicy + cheddar cheese paired together in one bite. Some people find quinoa too "earthy" but I guarantee you with this combination you won't have that problem in these bites!
