Spinach Ricotta Bites are one of the most kid-friendly, healthy recipes you could ask for! These mini egg bites are full of flavor, absolutely delicious and so easy to make.

I know what you’re thinking. Spinach and kid-friendly don’t usually go hand in hand. I had some initial doubts about the kid appeal of this recipe, but after watching Gemma repeatedly walk by the cooling rack to grab three of them within 15 minutes and Chloe and Kenta both scarfing down 4 or 5 at dinner, I realized these could be one of the all time greatest kid and parent friendly recipes I’ve ever made. Delicious, healthy and SO easy to make.

These Spinach Ricotta Bites aren’t just for kids either. These little bite sized quiches go great on an hors d’oeuvres table at a small get together or as a side with dinner that both kids and adults will love.
