Baked Quinoa Patties

2 1/2 cups cooked quinoa

4 eggs, beaten

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup chives, finely chopped

1 small white onion, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

3/4 cup feta cheese, or preferred cheese of your choice

1 cup bread crumbs, regular or gluten free

Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large bowl combine the eggs and salt. Stir in the chives, onion, garlic and cheese. Stir in the breadcrumb, allow to sit for 3-5 minutes so they can absorb some of the moisture. Form equal sized patties, no bigger than the palm of your hand, and place them on a greased baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the patties, and continue baking for another 10.

This recipe is very forgiving, if you'd prefer to add in additional spices or swap out the chives you'll be able to without a problem. You can also use a combination of cheeses like Parmesan and Gruyère if you'd prefer that to feta.

Makes 12 small patties, freezes excellently
