Total Time:25 mins
Servings: 4

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.
