"The perfect size to fit the new sandwich rounds that are sprouting up on the market. Also great to add chopped mushrooms or a handful of grated carrots." 

 

• 2 1/2 cups cooked quinoa (at room temperature)
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 sweet yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 cup whole-grain bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon butter, or as needed

 

To Make:

 

1. Mix quinoa, eggs, yellow onion, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and sea salt in a bowl; add bread crumbs and stir. Form into 9 small patties. 

 

2. Melt butter in a flat skillet over-medium high heat. Cook the patties in the hot butter until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes per side.
