1 medium egg
80 grams of grated Parmesan cheese

Ingredient Mixing: Add the cooked quinoa, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and a pinch of salt to the mixing bowl. Mix for 10 seconds at speed 4 counterclockwise.

Hamburger Cooking: Spray a bit of oil on a hot griddle or pan and cook the burgers for about 5 minutes on each side, until they are golden and crispy on the outside.

And that's it! Now you can enjoy some delicious quinoa burgers, ready to serve and enjoy at any time!
