Ingredients
-
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
Directions
-
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.
Cook's Note:
Substitute multigrain baby cereal for the bread crumbs if making for toddlers.
