Quinoa cakes with poached eggs

I’ve read a lot about quinoa and apparently it’s very healthy. It also has a specific taste, so it’s nice to add some extras to it. Quinoa cakes taste amazing. That’s for sure. If you add a poach egg and a watercress leaves, it’s even better.

You will need (for 3):

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 20g extra sharp cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper
  • watercress leaves
  • 3 poached eggs
In a bowl mix the quinoa, eggs, egg whites, onion, cheese, salt and pepper. Add the bread crumbs and leave for a couple of minutes. Form into three cakes. On a large frying pan heat an oil and fry on a medium heat for about 7-10 minutes on each side. 
Serve with the watercress leaves and a poached egg.
Enjoy, Marta
