Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 2 cups Water
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Chopped scallions
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 eggs. Add 0.5 cup breadcrumbs, 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 0.25 cup chopped scallions, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Stir to combine.
Add the cooked quinoa to the mixing bowl and mix until well blended.
Shape the mixture into approximately 8 patties, each about 3 inches wide.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties in batches if necessary, for about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious homemade quinoa patties as a side dish, topped on salads, or dipped in your favorite sauce.
