    Ingredients

    • . 2 cups cooked, Red Quinoa*, packed
    • . 2 xLarge eggs
    • Seasoning: 1/2 tsp. each of sea Salt, granulated Garlic powder, ground Cumin, ground (mild or smoked) Paprika
    • . small handful fresh herbs, finely chopped
    • . 1/2 cup Mozzarella, shredded
    • . 1/4 cup aged Cheddar, shredded
    • . 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
    • . 1/2 cup breadcrumb, packed
    • .
    • . Rule of thumb: a heaping 1/2 cup of uncooked Quinoa renders about 2 cups cooked. > Cooking method: Thoroughly rinse the quinoa and drain. Then, in a small saucepan, boil 1-1/2 cups of water. Add in the Quinoa seeds. When there is a surface boil, lower the heat to LOW-MEDIUM and cook for 12 minutes. The water will have mostly evaporated by now. Shut the heat. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then, fluff with a fork. Let it come to room temperature or refrigerate if making recipe later.

    Directions

    1. . In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs.
    2. . Add and whisk in the seasoning and parsley.
    3. . Add the Quinoa and stir enough for all of it to be very well combined.
    4. . Add the cheeses and breadcrumb last. Combine fully and pat down. Cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour up to overnight.
    5. . > Later: Pre-heat the oven at 450F. Position the rack in the center of the oven. Prepare a large, Silicone mat lined baking pan or simply line with parchment paper.
    6. . With the aid of a medium (#30) ice-cream scoop, make packed and leveled portions. Gently, extract onto the pan.
    7. . BAKE for 23 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them rest on the pan for about 5 minutes before serving.
    8. . Serve as is or with your sauce of choice. These can be frozen and then re-warmed at very low heat.
    9. . Flavourful wishes from Claudia's kitchen...FOODESSA.com
