    1 tsp. Hy-Vee garlic powder
    ½ tsp. Hy-Vee salt
    ½ tsp. Hy-Vee black pepper
    2 Hy-Vee large eggs
    2 tbsp. water
    ½ c. Hy-Vee panko bread crumbs
    ½ c. Hy-Vee grated Parmesan cheese

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
    2. In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and water. In a third shallow dish, stir together the panko, Parmesan and cooked quinoa.
