Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups water
1 cup quinoa
olive oil cooking spray
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 cup dry bread crumbs
4 eggs, whisked
⅓ cup shredded Colby cheese

Steps:

  • Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Stir quinoa, spinach, bread crumbs, eggs, and Colby cheese together in a bowl. Drop spoonfuls of the quinoa mixture onto the prepared baking sheets and press to desired thickness.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms of the patties are golden, about 15 minutes. Flip patties and bake until golden, about 5 minutes more.
