Crunchy Quinoa Croutons

Crunchy and tender, these are a delightful change to bread-style croutons.

Once the cooked quinoa has cooled, mix with the egg and any seasonings you’d like. Portion mixture out( teaspoon size) into hot greased skillet, flattening slightly.

Once golden, flip and cook other side until crisp and golden. Serve warm or room temperature with your favorite salad.
