These quinoa patties with feta cheese and olives are ready in just half an hour! They’re crunchy on the outside and bursting with flavors!
I know I promised you this quinoa patties recipe yesterday, but I was so busy and tired that as soon as I got home, I just wanted to lay down and do nothing :). So, here’s the recipe, you can make this today for the Sunday lunch with your family.
These quinoa patties with feta cheese are super-easy to make! Actually, all veggie patties are super-easy to make 😀 All you have to do is mix the ingredients and quickly cook the patties.
I have to admit, this was the first time I cooked with quinoa. I had a bag of quinoa in the kitchen for a very long time, but never had the “courage” to try it out! It was something new and I had no idea how to cook it. The combination between quinoa, feta cheese, and olives is amazing! You’ll have to try it and see for yourself!
- 1 cup quinoa, boiled
- 50g feta cheese, mashed with a fork
- 1 onion, diced
- ½ cup sliced black olives
- a bunch of parsley or dill, chopped (choose which one you like)
- 2 eggs
- breadcrumbs
- ground pepper, to taste
- Add all ingredients except breadcrumbs, in a large bowl. Mix well.
- It may be a little watery, so add breadcrumbs. Start by adding 3 Tbsps and wait a few minutes so they’ll absorb the excess water.
- There are 2 ways you can cook the quinoa patties. 1.Frying or 2. Baking.
- Grease a non-stick pan with some oil and add the quinoa patties. 1Tbsp per patty. Fry 1-2 minutes on each side.
- Grease an oven tray with some oil. Add quinoa patties and cook for 25-30 minutes at 200C.

It’s sound delicious. It’s a must to try it! Thank you for the recipe! 👌🙂
You’re welcome, let me know if you try it! 🙂
These sound delicious! Do you think they would turn out okay using an air fryer?
I never used an air fryer so I have no idea. 🙂 But you can try.
One of my favorite recipes of yours, Ruxandra. So good and filling! Absolutely perfect, I keep making them every week!! Thank you for creating this recipe 🙂
You’re welcome! 😀
They are absolutely delicious and so easy to make
So glad you like them, Willow!
Do you use kalamata olives or the unbrined canned variety?
Kalamata would be perfect. You can use pretty much any kind you like.
Made these today. Delicious! Thank you for this recipe. I think it would be a great side dish also.
So glad you liked them, Joyce! 😀
Can I make these a week in advance for a party?
Sure! 😀
That seems like very little quinoa for the amount of cheese.
It’s not that much cheese – only 50g. I used 1 cup of quinoa which is mor ethan enough for 15+ patties. It will get fluffy when boiled.
This recipe looks great! do you know if the patties freeze well?
Thanks, Katie! 😀 Yes, you can freeze them. 🙂
Thank you for your recipies
It is the first time i have knew about quinoa patties i am going to make them today for my daughter who is allergic to glutten
How did they turn out! I hope your daughter liked them! 😀
I’ve made these at least 6 times so far…..LOVE them!! I serve them over a bed of fresh spinach with a drizzle of good olive oil.
So, so glad you liked them Michele! 😀 They are among my fav patties recipes too! 😀
I’ve made these twice already! They are simply delicious. I used to make quinoa muffins with lots of chopped vegetables (carrots, peppers, mushrooms, whatever it was on hand) but this gives the whole idea a new twist. I don’t know how it never crossed my mind to add olives. They’re always there in the fridge in a big jar!
I’m so happy to hear that Monica! I’ll make quinoa muffins soon, what a great idea you gave me! 😀
Abia astept sa testez reteta. Sunt mereu in cautare de retete noi cu quinoa. Mi se pare delicioasa!
Pentru mine a fost prima oara cand am gatit cu quinoa si pur si simplu m-am indragostit de ea! 😀 Sper sa iti placa! Te astept cu un comentariu dupa sa imi spui cum ti-a iesit 🙂
