Ingredients:

1 cup almonds
120g
1/2 cup quinoa
120g
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
80g
1 tsp fresh thyme
5g
1 egg
50g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 tsp salt
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Quinoa:
Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions. Generally, this involves rinsing the quinoa under cold water and then boiling it in about 1 cup of water for 15-20 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Allow it to cool.
3. Grind the Almonds:
Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground. Be careful not to over-process, as you do not want almond butter.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground almonds, cooked quinoa, grated Parmesan cheese, fresh thyme leaves, and salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
5. Add Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the olive oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until fully combined.
6. Form the Cakes:
Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into a patty. Place the patty on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up, spacing the patties about 1 inch apart.
7. Bake:
Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
8. Cool and Serve:
Allow the cakes to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They can be served warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- Ensure your quinoa is cooked and completely cooled before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help the cakes bind better and maintain their shape.

- Toast the almonds lightly before grinding them. This will enhance their flavor and add a delightful crunch to your cakes.

- When shaping the cakes, wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking to your fingers.

- For extra flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a teaspoon of dried herbs such as oregano or basil along with the fresh thyme.

- If you prefer a cheesier flavor, sprinkle a little extra grated parmesan on top of the cakes before baking.

- Store any leftover cakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for longer storage.
