    I made this today - adjusted for our family's dietary needs. Used Daiya dairy free cheese, and swapped our favourite pizza toppings, mushrooms and pineapple - for the pepperoni. I don't have mini muffin tins, so just made them into small patties on a parchment lined tray. Made 28 patties with the recipe. They were awesome. My son, who doesn't like quinoa in a lot of dishes, gobbled them up. I'm having a hard time leaving the last few for tomorrow!
