Quinoa Patties

I love quinoa. As you can see throughout my blog, I have used quinoa a lot. It is a versatile grain that you can have for breakfast, lunch and dinner! In this recipe I used quinoa as a pattie. So delicious served with a parmesan dip.

baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Boil the quinoa until cooked. Let cool completely.

Add the breadcrumbs, cheese, beaten egg, garlic, onion, parsley, salt and pepper. Incorporate. Add more breadcrumbs if you feel the mixture is too wet.

I used a measuring cup (1/4 cup) to spoon and form the patties. Place the patties on a parchment lined baking sheet.
