Quinoa Burger

• 2 cups cooked quinoa
• 34 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or other variety, if you prefer)
• 12 cup low fat cottage cheese
• 1 medium carrot, finely grated (OR 1 cup shredded zucchini, squeezed)
• 3 eggs
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 green onions, including white parts
• 12 teaspoon Splenda sugar substitute or 12 teaspoon sugar
• 14 teaspoon black pepper
• 14 teaspoon ground cumin
• 18 teaspoon salt
• 18 teaspoon garlic powder
• olive oil (for frying)

1. In a large bowl combine the cooked quinoa, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, carrot, eggs, flour, green onions, Splenda, pepper, cumin, salt, and garlic powder.
2. Heat a frying pan and a couple teaspoons olive oil over medium-low heat.
3. Mixture will be slightly sticky, so using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop mixture into pan and lightly flatten to 1/2 inch thick.
4. Fry until golden-brown, about 4 minutes on each side.
