Broccoli cheddar quinoa cutlets

I saw broccoli cheddar fritters on the magical world of pinterest one day and just had to try them but of course never got around to it until about two years later lol I kind of made this recipe up after getting some ideas from similar recipes. It's pretty versatile so you can switch up the veggies with potatoes, carrots, zucchini, cauliflower etc and can omit the quinoa or substitute it for brown rice if you want. Overall, it's a quick, easy, yummy and healthy snack or appetizer.

Ingredients:

1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
1/2 onion, chopped (or 1/2 tsp onion powder)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 eggs
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and Pepper to taste

Steam or boil the broccoli until tender. When cooked, give it a rough chop.

In a large bowl mix together all the ingredients until well combined. Heat about 2 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Form patties with oiled hands to prevent sticking and fry the patties until brown, about 2 minutes on each side.

I've tried baking them and they turn out almost as good, with slightly less crunch.
