When you are looking for a great vegetarian recipe here is one you can make in a jiffy. For some reason I have the uncanny ability to walk through a grocery store, pick two random items, and know they will taste amazing together! Why I have this talent? I don’t know but I do, so why not share it with you? Now you have another great dinner idea, that you may never have thought of, that you can throw together in a pinch. Dinner is never boring, when you are constantly serving up a fresh idea. The fact that it took you under three minutes to prepare can be our little secret.

Directions
Step 1: Place frozen polenta in a microwave safe dish and defrost, or if you know you are making ahead of time, defrost overnight in your fridge.
Step 2: Spray a pan with a little bit of olive oil spray and spread polenta all over bottom. Set your stove on m so you don’t burn the polenta but you want it to get crunchy . ( The Trader Joe’s brand is what I use since there is spinach an all sorts of yummy’s in it) Place the quinoa burgers on top of the polenta. Once again I like to have these already defrosted, so I put in the fridge the night before or let sit on my counter for a bit.
Step 3: Put a half a slice of pepper jack cheese on top of each quinoa burger.
Step 4: Place the lid on top of your pan and warm up all the ingredients.
Step 5: Enjoy!
