Description
Quinoa, a nutrient packed superfood, makes for an epic burger with the addition of a few basic ingredients like egg, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and fresh thyme.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of cooked Quinoa
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs (use Gluten free to keep these burgers Gluten free)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup (fresh) grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp smoked garlic powder
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
Directions:
Beat eggs before adding to the rest of the ingredients. Combine all ingredients well and form into very tight balls, making sure to squeeze each Quinoa burger tightly to bind the ingredients together.
Prepare your grill for medium direct heat and add your cast iron skillet or griddle on direct heat. Add butter to the hot skillet or griddle. Place the Quinoa burger on the skillet or flat top and slightly flatten, helping the flatten and sear the edge of the burger. After about 10 minutes or once the burger has formed a nice crust on one side, flip to the other side. If adding cheese, do it now. Cook until this side has formed a slight crust.
Serve with your favorite burger toppings. I like to serve these on brioche buns with secrete sauce (mayo, mustard, ketchup mix), sliced tomato and lots of pickles!
