• 120g ‘lighter’ mature cheddar cheese, grated

• 120g lean wafer-thin ham, shredded

PREPARATION

• Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.

• Lightly grease a 12-hole muffin tin with a little rapeseed oil.

• Put the quinoa into a large saucepan, add 540ml cold water and bring to the boil over high heat.

• Stir well, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender.

• Tip the quinoa into a sieve and rinse with cold running water to stop the cooking process. Use your hands to squeeze out any excess water.
