    1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a six-hole (¾-cup capacity) Texas muffin pan. Line bases with non-stick muffin cases.

    2 Cook quinoa following packet directions, until tender. Drain, rinse under cold water, drain again.

    3 Meanwhile, in a medium non-stick frying pan, heat oil over medium-high. Cook leek and mushrooms, stirring, for 5-7 minutes, or until soft. Stir in half of the thyme.

    4 In a large bowl, combine quinoa, eggs, mushroom mixture and half of the parmesan. Divide mixture among muffin holes. Scatter with remaining cheese, thyme and seeds. Bake for 25 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool in pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

    HFG tip

    For a main meal, serve two with a mixed salad of leftover roasted vegetables.
