Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
Mix all of the ingredients together.  Form the mixture into patties. Allow them to sit in the fridge for about fifteen minutes. 
Pour olive oil into a frying pan and heat over medium-high flame. Cook patties on each side for about 2 minutes. Transfer on to a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes. 

Recipe 2:

-2 ½ cups cooked quinoa
-4 large eggs
-1/3 cup chopped chives
-1 cup spinach 
-3 tablespoons ricotta cheese
-1/2 teaspoon cumin
-1/2 teaspoon paprika
-1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
-1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-1 cup garbanzo bean powder (gluten free) or use bread crumbs if you do not need gluten free
2 tablespoons oil 

Combine the quinoa, eggs in a medium bowl. Add cumin, paprika, garlic powder, lemon zest and salt. 
Add spinach, chives and cheese.
Stir in breadcrumbs/ powder and allow it to sit in the fridge for about 15 minutes. Form into 10-12 patties. 
Heat oil in a skillet. Add patties and cook on each side until they’re golden-brown in color.

I like to serve these with a poached egg, avocado and over greens.
