Form the millet mix into hockey puck sized patties by rolling them in your hands then flattening them out a bit. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, place the olive oil and heat until a drop of water can bounce off it.
Cook the patties over medium to medium-high heat until golden brown, 5-8 minutes a side. Flip them at least once during the process. I like mine lightly golden, but you may like yours a bit darker and crispier, it’s up to you. Serve immediately.
These wonderfully nutty little patties were an excellent side dish for the stuffed pork chops I made last week. They are cheesy but not greasy and the unique texture really added to the experience. I really loved how these turned out and am looking forward to making them again.

My dad used to cook millet for breakfast for us sometimes, and I have to be honest, I didn’t care for it much as a kid. But then, he didn’t cook it with chicken stock, cheese or other tasty things either 😉 I love the sound of these cakes and what a delicious side…
I love millet and have never made pancakes with cheese. Pinning thanks for sharing this on foodie friday.
Millet is considered to be an ancient grain and is a great change from the typical starches used in a meal (potatoes, rice, pasta, etc). I’m pretty sure that I would like these cold/room temperature so they will be useful as a grab-and-go breakfast or something to take with me. I will try baking them and after I get the hang of them I will try adding sauteed onions, fresh parsley, etc to make them cover more food groups. What a great idea! Must check if I have millet on hand, if not … maybe quinoa (another ancient grain)?
how very interesting! 🙂 Thank you so much for linking up with me this week at Tasty Tuesdays! I’ve pinned this & shared it with my followers!
I just made these Millet Cakes and I love them — they are very tasty. I’ve try so many millet recipes before that I have not like at all until now. Will definitely be making these again. Thanks!
You are so welcome!! Have a wonderful holiday!
I kind of liked these but they were a little bland. I’m not sure what they need. Any suggestions for spices to add?
Sorry it didn’t turn out as expected. I’ve made them with chopped jalapeno before. If you like jalapeno, give it a try. I’ve also added bacon (at hubby’s request) but salami works too. You can also add onion, garlic, shallots or even use a pepper jack cheese instead. I hope that helps!
