Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare quinoa as per package directions, let cool to room temperature.
  2. In a large bowl combine the cooked quinoa, eggs, and salt; stir to mix well. Add the basil, red onion, cheese, garlic, and breadcrumbs to the bowl; stir, then let the mixture sit for a few minutes so that the bread crumbs can absorb some of the moisture. If your mixture is too wet you can add a little more breadcrumbs at this point and if it is too dry add a small amount of water.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Form the mixture into 12 small patties; when the oil is hot place enough patties in the skillet so that it is full, but the patties still have room in between them. Cover, and cook for 7-10 minutes, until the bottoms are crisp and deeply browned. Carefully flip the patties with a spatula and cook the second side for about 7 minutes more.
  4. Remove from the skillet and cool on a wire rack while you cook the remaining patties.
  5. Enjoy!
