240 ml cooked quinoa
02 -
2 large eggs
03 -
0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
04 -
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
05 -
0.5 teaspoon salt
06 -
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
07 -
60 g mozzarella cheese, shredded
08 -
40 g red onion, finely minced

# Preparation Steps:
01 -
In a medium bowl, mix the cooked quinoa, eggs, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly incorporated.
02 -
Stir in the shredded mozzarella and minced red onion to combine evenly with the quinoa mixture.
03 -
Fold in the panko breadcrumbs and allow the mixture to rest for several minutes so the breadcrumbs absorb moisture.
04 -
With wet hands, use a 60 ml measuring cup to portion and form the mixture into approximately 10 even patties.
05 -
Heat 30 ml avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place half of the patties in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate.
06 -
Add the remaining 30 ml avocado oil to the skillet. Cook the remaining patties as before, ensuring both sides are evenly browned. Serve warm.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
For crisper patties, avoid overcrowding the skillet and allow space between each during frying.
