VEGETABLE BURGERS

2 Cups Quinoa, cooked
3/4 Cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/2 Cup Low-fat Cottage Cheese
1 Medium Carrot, fnely grated
1 Cup Zucchini, squeezed
3 Eggs
3 Tablespoons All Purpose Flour

1/2 Teaspoon Splenda or sugar
1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/8 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper

In a large bowl combine the cooked quinoa, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, carrot, eggs, flour, green onions, Splenda, pepper, cumin, salt, and garlic powder. Heat a frying pan and a couple teaspoons olive oil over medium-low heat.  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.  Fry until golden-brown, about 4 minutes on each side.   Makes 10 burgers.
