Ingredients
2 cups cooked quinoa, at room temperature2 large eggs, beaten (may need 1 more if not sticky enough)˝ tsp. coarse salt1/3 cup minced fresh chives, plus more for garnish2 large shallots, finely chopped1/2 cup grated cheese (I used colby/jack)3 cloves garlic, minced˝ cup whole grain bread crumbs, plus more if neededOlive oil, for frying patties
In a medium bowl, combine the quinoa, eggs, salt, chives, shallots, cheese, and garlic. Stir to blend. Mix in the bread crumbs and stir gently until evenly incorporated. Form the mixture into 12 evenly sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter.
Heat a bit of olive oil in a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat and swirl to coat. Add the patties to the pan so that they are not touching. Let cook about 4 minutes or until the first side is lightly browned. Carefully flip the patties with a spatula and let the second side cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining patties, using additional olive oil if needed.
