Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until smooth and frothy.
Step 2
Add the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir together until the mixture is well combined and slightly thick.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Using a spoon, scoop a portion of the egg mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and carefully drop it into the skillet, forming small, round patties. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 5
Fry the patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining egg mixture, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed.
Step 8
Serve warm as is, or alongside a fresh salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
