These Crispy Quinoa Bites are a savory side dish recipe that would be the perfect complement to any meal. You cook up these tasty little bites in a muffin tin so that each bite is presented in a single-serving form. In the unlikely event that you end up with a couple of leftovers, these could be served as a quick breakfast treat or an afternoon snack. Egg holds the bites together, and quinoa and rice provide tons of fiber. This is a wonderfully healthy side dish, tasty appetizer, or on-the-go breakfast recipe.

Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

Thank you! Thank you! for this recipe. I have just started eating quinoa and kept wondering what to do with the left overs. These look delicious and I will definitely be making them. I am passing on the recipe as well. This is a great idea for lunch box fillers too!

I made these again this week! I spontaneously decided to add some pesto to them this time and my apartment smelled oh so good while they were in the oven. The pesto made them a little softer, I think, but they were still really really good! Definitely going to make them again and again.

These were super tasty and I love that they're healthy. I definitely want to make these as an appetizer for when I have friends over for dinner.

Loved these! I've made something similar in the past, but those were too spicy for me. These had the perfect flavor. If I didn't have to share them, I would have eaten the whole batch by myself!

These were delicious! They'd make the perfect appetizer for a party or a quick snack.

These were really tasty, and super healthy! I'll definitely be making these again for a quick snack or simple breakfast.

I literally cannot wait to make more of these. They're absolutely delicious! I'm a very happen vegetarian right now.

Yum! These are perfect for a party appetizer!

These were surprisingly tasty and perfect for a little midday snack, side dish, or even an appetizer.

Yum! I really liked these! Perfect pairing with the marinara.

I really enjoyed these! They make a nice, filling snack.
