Hello, how long can these last in fridge please once cooked? Thank you
Hi Annabelle, The patties should stay fresh 3-4 days refrigerated in an airtight container.
Yum! These look soooo delicious! Pinning so I can try them out soon 🙂
Visiting from Tasty Tuesdays 🙂
These look AMAZING!!!!
i want to make these for my 16 month old. Can i bake them instead?
Hi Dee, Yes I think you can bake these patties.
Great!!! Made them tonight. We added extra onion and jalapeños. Next time we plan to make a jalapeño cream sauce to go with. Great recipe
That’s awesome Kathy! I’m so glad your family liked the recipe.
I made this couple of nights ago. Hubby and I enjoyed them very much. Did not change a thing. So tasty! Because I used canned corn, I did not need to cook it like you would the frozen corn. I just threw everything together after the quinoa was done. Served these with a side of tossed salad. Definitely will make again.
I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe as much as I did Gale.
I had these topped with poached egg and lime cilantro hollandaise. Amazing breakfast!
Wow! That does sound amazing Holly!
