- 3 cups water
- 1 cup quinoa
- olive oil cooking spray
- 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- 4 eggs, whisked
- 1/3 cup shredded Colby cheese
- Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
- Stir quinoa, spinach, bread crumbs, eggs, and Colby cheese together in a bowl. Drop spoonfuls of the quinoa mixture onto the prepared baking sheets and press to desired thickness.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms of the patties are golden, about 15 minutes. Flip patties and bake until golden, about 5 minutes more.
