Instructions

1. In a large bowl mix quinoa, shredded cheddar cheese, flour, scallions, flour, season salt, olive oil and egg; Stir ingredients with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated. Let mixture sit for 5 minutes.
2. In a large saute pan, add remaining two tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Divide quinoa mixture into six large patties or 12 small. Fry the patties over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes each side, turning heat down if necessary so that patties brown but don’t burn.
3. After both sides are browned and patties are cooked through, remove from pan and let drain on a paper towel.
4. Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream and salsa if desired. These would also be great topped with guacamole, a lemon or spicy aioli or dipped into marinara. Or eat them as is on top of a salad!
